Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku discusses his thoughts and solution to the Singularity. Excerpt from the tv series Sci Fi Science.

The Singularity Institute brings rational analysis and rational strategy to the challenges facing humanity as we develop cognitive technologies that will exceed the current upper bounds on human intelligence. Inspired by the latest science of human fallibility, we strive to correct the biases that run wild in standard futurism and philanthropy; we convene the annual Singularity Summit to coordinate and educate scientists and other concerned individuals on these issues; inspire our Visiting Fellows from college students to PhDs to address these issues in their future careers; and support our Research Fellows as they engage in original research on topics ranging from human rationality and cognitive enhancement to foundational research in Artificial Intelligence.

When considering the possible impact of advanced artificial intelligence on the future, most futurists use anthropomorphic reasoning about AI behavior and motivations. I argue why these assumptions are a potentially dangerous way to approach the challenge of engineering human-friendly AI, which could be the most important challenge of this century.

Stephen Long speaks on "What Are The National Security Implications of the Coming Technological Singularity?" at the Singularity University Reunion August 28, 2011 at NASA Ames in Ocean View, California. Kim Solez spoke just after him on "Mainstreaming the Singularity in Universities and Beyond". You can sleep more soundly knowing impressive people like Stephen Long are involved in keeping us humans safe from harm! He has strong and specific ideas about strong Artificial Intelligence, when it will occur, and what we should do about it!

Max More speaks about Transhumanism and the Singularity.

Founder of the Extropy Institute, Max More has written many articles espousing the philosophy of transhumanism and the transhumanist philosophy of extropy, most importantly his Principles of Extropy (currently version 3.11).

In a 1990 essay "Transhumanism: Toward a Futurist Philosophy", he introduced the term "transhumanism" in its modern sense.

Quotes:
"We have achieved two of the three alchemists' dreams: We have transmuted the elements and learned to fly. Immortality is next." — Max More, On becoming posthuman.

Expanding on his award-winning short story cycle from the pages of Asimov's Science Fiction, Charles Stross delivers the story fans and peers have been expecting with Accelerando, a novel destined to change the face of the genre.

This is Hugo De Garis speaking about the future of topological quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and a war over whether to build artificial intellects, at Melbourne University in August 2011. Will humans stay the dominant species?
