At the recent DEMO 2012 conference, Ray Kurzweil presented a keynote talk where he discussed some of the concepts of his upcoming book, How To Create A Mind.
R
ecently Ray Kurzweil, author of the upcoming, How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed, discussed his exploration on reverse engineering the human brain.

Kurzweil's conjecture is that the neocortex is a form of exponential technology, and our understanding of its operation is progressing exponentially.  This study continues from his earlier explorations of artificial intelligence and technological progress documented in books such as, The Singularity Is Near.


In the video embedded below, Kurzweil talks about mapping the human brain, the continuing evolution of technology and continued rise of artificial intelligence from the DEMO 2012 show in Santa Clara, California.  His talk focuses on “how we are making exponential gains in reverse-engineering the human brain, how these insights are going to fuel an AI revolution, and the impact of that revolution on business and society.”

Produced by IDG Enterprise in conjunction with VentureBeat, the DEMO conferences in the U.S., China, Brazil, and Singapore focus on emerging technologies and new product innovations.

The Story of the Chessboard


The classic parable of how the inventor of the game of chess used his knowledge of exponential growth to trick an emperor is commonly used to explain the staggering and accelerating growth of technology. The 33rd square on the chessboards represents the first step into the second half of the chessboard, where exponential growth takes off.

33rd Square explores technological progress in AI, robotics, genomics, neuroscience, nanotechnology, art, design and the future as humanity encroaches on The Singularity.
