Ray Kurzweil To Discuss The Singularity At SXSW Conference
Ray Kurzweil will join Time magazine writer Lev Grossman for a “mind-expanding keynote conversation about our future” entitled, "Expanding Our Intelligence Without Limit" at SXSW in Austin on Monday, March 12. 2 PM — 3 PM (Convention Center, Exhibit Hall 5).
Grossman wrote the Time cover story “2045: The Year Man Becomes Immortal,” on the Singularity and Ray Kurzweil’s “radical vision for humanity’s immortal future.”
Kurzweil and Grossman will discuss current hot issues such as Watson, Siri, Google driverless cars, and other AI examples, says Kurzweil “We will also talk about my upcoming [How to Create a] Mind
book and I will mention my thesis of a pattern recognition module that is repeated (on the order of) 300 million times and self-organizes its connections in an elaborate hierarchy that covers all of our ideas, skills, and memories.”
