Over nearly four decades, Stephen Wolfram has been a pioneer in the development and application of computational thinking and responsible for many innovations in science, technology and business. His 1982 paper “Cellular Automata as Simple Self-Organizing Systems,” written at th...
academic panel at MIT missed the point: “(That is why it is called the Connection Machine.)”189 Hillis’s ambition to build this device boiled in him while he was at MIT, and it finally outstripped what MIT could support, so he gathered a group of students and started a small com...

…g a bounty of thinking tools, or memes, in our brains. Language, itself composed of memes, turbocharged this interplay. The result, a mind that can comprehend the questions it poses, emerges from a process of cultural evolution. An agenda-setting book for a new generation of phi...
while (relatively) moderate civilian politicians are reduced to feuding and arresting each others' children. Iran's nuclear programme appears to proceed independent even of the organs of its own state. A spoof article in the Economist last year portrayed Iran's supreme leader, A...
When we consider the future of AI, we need to think about the goals. That’s what humans contribute; that’s what our civilization contributes. The execution of those goals is what we can increasingly automate. What will the future of humans be in such a world? What will there be f...
Even though a supercomputer can “train” a clone of zemself in seconds, the energy cost of producing a mature silicon clone is comparable. Engineering (Homo) prodigies might make a small impact on this slow process, but speeding up development and implanting extensive memory (as D...
Computer scientist Stuart Russell, along with Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, Max Tegmark, and numerous others, has insisted that attention be paid to the potential dangers in creating an intelligence on the superhuman (or even the human) level—an AGI, or artificial general intellige...
