    Achieving Friendly Artificial Intelligence

    The World Transformed, Part 5

    Are the robots going to take over?

    The Matrix and Terminator movies present a nightmare world in which artificially intelligent machines pit themselves against humanity with devastating consequences. Could something like that really happen?

    Phil Bowermaster and Stephen Gordon welcome a panel of leading thinkers on artificial intelligence to explore these issues:

    In the near future, is machine intelligence going to equal or overtake human intelligence in terms of speed and capability?

    If so, what can we do to make sure these new intelligences are on our side?

    Eliezer Yudkowsky is the world's foremost researcher on Friendly AI and recursive self-improvement. He is a research fellow with the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence.

    James Hughes is the Executive Director of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, and he is the producer and host of the weekly syndicated public affairs talk show Changesurfer Radio

    Ben Goertzel is the chief science officer and acting CEO of Novamente. He is the Director of Research for the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence.

    Reworking the Human Architecture

    The World Transformed, Part 4

    Humanity...Enhanced!



    Human evolution is well on its way to becoming a do-it-yourself project. Our panel of futurists discuss how and why people are going to be making major enhancements to themselves, and soon.

    We're all familiar with enhancements intended to make us stronger or to look younger or more beautiful, but those hardly scratch the surface. Are you ready for technologies that can make us truly younger, stronger, smarter?

    How about rebuilding the human machinery from the ground-up? Need longer legs? An extra hand? Eyes literally in the back of your head?

    Who wants feathers? Wings? Gills?

    Or maybe you're tired of having your computer do all the thinking for you. Are you ready to become the computer yourself?

    From the highly desirable to the downright disturbing, we explore arguments for and against, benefits and risks, and the inevitability of re-working the human architecture.

    The Nanotechnology Revolution

    The World Transformed, Part 3

    Nanotechnology promises to change our world in ways that are difficult to predict, or even imagine.

    Are you ready for...

    ...Star Trek style replicators that would allow you to make anything, ANYTHING, you wanted?

    ...artificial robotic blood cells that will turn an Average Joe into a world-class athlete, or allow you to hold your breath under water for an hour at a time?

    ...programmable "smart" matter than can take whatever form you want? It's a suitcase. No, a bicycle! No, a TV! No, a puppy!

    Nanotechnology promises all of this plus a lot more. We're joined by a distinguished panel of guests who will help us understand the benefits, and risks, of this technology that will be with us sooner than most of us expect.

    J. Storrs Hall is a scientist, visionary, entrepreneur, and the president of the Foresight Institute.

    Mike Treder is the Executive Director of Center for Responsible Nanotechnology, and one of the most popular and well-received professional speakers on nanotechnology.

    Christine Peterson writes, lectures, and briefs the media on coming powerful technologies, especially nanotechnology. She is the co- founder and Vice President of Foresight Institute.
