ACM Ubiquity, of which I have the honor of serving as an Associate Editor for a number of years, has a symposium (a collection of essays around a theme) on the Technological Singularity. I have been the editor responsible for this one, and the essays are as follows (I’ll make these live links as they are published):
- Opening Statement by Espen Andersen
- The Singularity and the State of the Art in Artificial Intelligence by Ernest Davis, NYU
- Human Enhancement—The Way Ahead by Kevin Warwick, University of Reading
- Exponential Technology and The Singularity by Peter Cochrane
- Computers versus Humanity: Do we compete? by Liah Greenfeld and Mark Simes, Boston University
- What About an Unintelligent Singularity? by Peter J. Denning, Naval Postgraduate School, editor ACM Ubiqity
- Closing Statement: Reflections on A Singularity Symposium by Espen Andersen
You can read about the background for the symposium in my opening statement – but, in short, I could not get a clear and concise explanation of whether the singularity will happen (and when), so I set about getting a number of smart people to give their perspective. Enjoy!
