Singularity Summit in SF is one month away!
Tyler sez, "The Singularity Summit 2007 is one month away, happening September 8th-9th at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre in San Francisco. Tickets for the two-day event can be purchased online for the extremely low-price of $50, which even includes two lunches, a Saturday night reception, and extensive audience participation. The theme is 'Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity.' Some of the fascinating questions to be explored include: 'What are the major challenges to achieving advanced AI? What are the benefits and dangers? How far are we from self-improving AI? How should we prepare for this potentially powerful innovation?'" Link (Thanks, Tyler!)Share this post
