MIND MAPPING AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE: Are We at the Beginnings of a Technological Singularity?

Mind Mapping and Machine Intelligence:

Are We at the Beginnings of a Technological

Singularity?

RIVA-MELISSA TEZ@RIVATEZ

1. The state of being singular, distinct, peculiar, uncommon or unusual2. A point where all parallel lines meet3. A point where a measured variable reaches unmeasurable or infinite value

Hi Steve this is Ray Kurzweil- I wanna tell you about our future. I estimate that by around 2045 we will have expanded our

own intelligence a billion fold by merging with the artificial intelligence we’re

creating

That’s such a profound transformation for human civilization that we borrow this metaphor from physics and we call it

‘Singularity’

In about 15 years we’ll get to a point where we’ll be adding more time than is

going by, indefinitely extending life

There will be a hybrid of the biological and non-biological, but the non-biological part

of ourselves will also be a part of our consciousness

“upload” our brains into a computer????

2.Build the software to host Brain(Quantum Computing/AI)

1.Understand the brain/map how our thoughts work physically

Sounds like a load of science fiction

nonsenseto me …

Moore’s Law

"ever accelerating progress of technology and changes in the mode of human life, which gives the appearance of approaching some essential singularity in the history of the race beyond which human affairs, as we know them, could not continue".

John von Neumann

Arghhhhhhh what?!?!

And in the next 100 years?

= Molecular Assemblers??

A conscious computer?? You’ve got

to be kidding…

Oh man, I think I’m having a fat day today….

“There is no security against the ultimate development of mechanical consciousness, in the fact of machines possessing little consciousness now. A mollusc has not much consciousness. Reflect upon the extraordinary advance which machines have made during the last few hundred years, and note how slowly the animal and vegetable kingdoms are advancing. The more highly organized machines are creatures not so much of yesterday, as of the last five minutes, so to speak, in comparison with past time.”

Samuel Butler1872

GF2045“ a conference to transcend mortality by decoding the brain and the blueprint of consciousness in order for us to upload

ourselves to an eternal future”

We’re gonna live forever, we’ll never

DIE?!WTF???!

The Next Frontier

“the mysteries of the mind can be solved -- soon. Mental illness, memory, perception: they're made of neurons and electric signals, and to find them we need to build a supercomputer that models all the brain's 100,000,000,000,000 synapses.”

Henry Markram, Blue Brain

"You, your joys and sorrows, your memories and your ambitions, your sense of personal identity and your free will are in fact no more than the behavior of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules"

Francis Crick

Reverse Engineering/Hierarchical Networks (Kurzweil)Connectome- map neuron by neuron, synapse by synapse.

The Brain as a Quantum Computer

The very essence of what defines us?

Nanotechnology???

Brain emulation???

Artificial Intelligence???

Biotechnology??

Dr.Obama’s BRAIN Initiative(Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies)

$110 MILLION

$110 million =

Darpa - $50 million

National Institutes of Health- $40 million

National Science Foundation - $20 million.

“DARPA’s mission is to prevent

technological surprise to the US, but also to create

technological surprise for our

enemies.”

The most interesting idea incubator on Earth?

“performance enhancement of soldiers via either implanted or external electrodes linked to electronic devices.”

“ brain-machine interfaces that would allow soldiers to control a jet or other weapon system through thought alone.”

Technological Singularity-.

Transhumanism?

Intelligent Machines?

Both/Neither?

And then what after??!!
