Michio Kaku – A History of a Time to Come
Science, Technology & the Future interviews Dr. Michio Kaku on Artificial Intelligence and the Singularity, Biotech and Nanotechnology
- What is it that is driving this revolution?
- How do you think your background in Theoretical Physics shape your view on the future of the mind?
- Intelligence enhancement, Internet of the mind – brain-net, like a hive mind? Where are we at with AI?
- Many AI experts and scientists agree that some time in the future a Singularity will be possible (often disagreeing about when). What are your thoughts on the Singularity?
- What about advances in Nanotechnology?
- Is the Sticky Fingers problem a show stopper?
Michio is the author of many best sellers, most recently “the Future of the Mind” – We are entering a golden age of neuroscience – today it seems much of the discourse today seems to be it’s use in helping understand and treat mental illness (which is great) – though in the future, there will be other profound implications to understanding neuroscience – such as understanding the mechanics of intelligence…
