6th Annual Singularity Summit

October 15-16, 2011
NYC

6th Annual Singularity Summit
October 15-16, 2011
92nd St. Y, NY

This year’s Singularity Summit will be focused on the victory of Watson in Jeopardy! and what it means for the future of artificial intelligence. My talk, “From Eliza to Watson to Passing the Turing Test” will put Watson in the context of the history and future of conversational AI. Ken Jennings, the Jeopardy! champion who dominated the game for 74 consecutive matches in 2004, only to lose to Watson in an epic battle of Man vs. Machine earlier this year, will discuss the details of his loss to the IBM computer.

Besides AI and robotics, many other topics will be addressed, including brain simulation, the economy, human enhancement, and neuroscience. A variety of eminent speakers will give talks—neuroscientist Dr. Christof Koch, economist Tyler Cowen, cosmologist Max Tegmark, roboticists Robin Murphy and James McLurkin, investor Peter Thiel, television personalities Casey Pieretti and Jason Silva, and more.
