Download as PPTX, PDF6 likes3,268 views
The document discusses the possibility of an upcoming technological singularity brought about by accelerating progress in artificial intelligence and other technologies. It explores ideas like merging with AI, extending the human lifespan indefinitely, and uploading human consciousness to computers. Experts believe major advances in areas like mind mapping, brain emulation, nanotechnology and quantum computing could allow humanity to transcend its biological limitations in the coming decades. However, the full implications of reaching a singularity are unknown and some view the predictions as science fiction. The document examines initiatives like the BRAIN project that aim to advance neuroscience and better understand the human mind.

- 1. Mind Mapping and Machine Intelligence: Are We at the Beginnings of a Technological Singularity?
- 5. 1. The state of being singular, distinct, peculiar, uncommon or unusual 2. A point where all parallel lines meet 3. A point where a measured variable reaches unmeasurable or infinite value
- 6. 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
- 7. “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
- 8. Sounds like a load of science fiction nonsense to me …

- 15. And in the next 100 years? + = Molecular Assemblers??
- 17. A conscious computer?? You’ve got to be kidding… Oh man, I think I’m having a fat day today….
- 18. “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 Butler 1872

- 26. Immortality through Mind Upload? Life extension by combatting aging
- 27. 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

- #12: he exponential growth of technology, often referenced to an observation made in 1965 by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, highlights the fact that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits has continued to double every year since the integrated circuit was invented, a theory dubbed now as ‘Moore’s law’. Moore correctly predicted that this trend would continue for the foreseeable future causing technologists to envisage a not-too-distant time when machines will outgrow humans in terms of intelligence
