Wiping cell memories clean, "Men in Black" style. What are your thoughts on gene-edited humans?

It's now possible to transform mice skin cells into functional sperm/eggs to create healthy pups... what will it mean when we can make human babies from abundant skin cells?

The cells had a similar genetic and epigenetic profile to their natural counterparts and could rapidly proliferate—in some cases, over 10 billion-fold.

Is it luck, or is it just noise? How many of your "objective" decisions would have been different on another day?

New research says that quantifying progress in AI must account for the fact that the humans AI is measured against are actually a variable, noisy benchmark.

How do you define consciousness?

Neurocientists suggest consolidating consciousness theories into a general framework could help unravel one of the brain’s greatest mysteries.

Ray Kurzweil predicts by the late 2030's we'll be able to connect our mind to the cloud, expanding our brain exponentially beyond the limit of our skulls. We'll be able to tap into creativity and skills that are unimaginable today. "Some people find it frightening, but I find it beautiful."

Join the waitlist to catch the replay of Ray's talk at the Future of AI program:

Singularity is excited to announce a new three-day program for leaders looking to go beyond the current AI hype cycle and dive into the implications and opportunities that the convergence of AI with other exponential technologies will enable over the next 5 - 15 years.

Such a complex robot being put to a single repetitive task seems impractical... what commercial potential do you see for these machines?

Yesterday, Boston Dynamics announced it was retiring its hydraulic Atlas robot. But fans didn't have to wait long for its successor: Meet electric Atlas.

“We inherently trust computers, and we accept their algorithmic output unquestioningly, forgetting that they were designed by humans—that is, a specific cadre of humans who are likely to see and experience the world in a similar way—as well as trained on data from the real world. The resulting algorithms are not the dispassionate machines we suppose. Instead, they are very much a reflection of their human creators, flaws and all.” -Singularity Research Publication

Calling all women in STEM: there is a huge opportunity to make a massive impact in AI.

At Deloitte Australia, Dr. Kellie Nuttall incubates leading-edge AI solutions, working with clients to build their AI fluency and educating them on what these technologies could mean for their organization. Kellie is driving women to the field of AI: “Studies have already proven that teams that are working together with both genders are far more creative, they’re more experimental, they’re more productive, they’re more able to detect biases in their problem-solving.”

Meet Dr. Kellie Nuttall and learn to harness AI's power for strategic advantage, foster innovation, and redefine business models while also exercising vigilance and responsibility: https://www.su.org/future-of-ai-program
