A very bold/speculative perspective regarding the present and future of Artificial Intelligence.

The key figures of this documentary are :

  • Anne Foerst – the theological advisor for the Cog and Kismet Projects at M.I.T. A.I. Laboratory
  • Hugo de Garis – famous A.I. scientist – the creator of the A.I. sub-domain of “Brain Building”
  • Nick Bostrom – founder/director “Future of Humanity Institute” at Oxford University
  • Kevin Warwick – cybernetician/cyborg – Reading University – England

And here is an interview with Ray Kurzweil, famous cybernetician/inventor, author of the book “The Age of Spiritual Machines“. In this book (summarised in the interview) he talks in a litle more detail about the hopes of the present brain builders and Strong A.I. enthusiasts.
