For 130,000 years, our capacity to reason has remained unchanged. The combined intellect of the neuroscientists, mathematicians and... hackers... in this auditoirum pales in comparison to the most basic A.I. Once online, a sentient machine will quickly overcome the limits of biology. And in a short time, its analytic power will become greater than the collective intelligence of every person born in the history of the world. So imagine such an entity with a full range of human emotion. Even self-awareness. Some scientists refer to this as "the Singularity." I call it "Transcendence."

For 130 000 years
00:00:04.052 --> 00:00:08.073
our capacity for reason has remained unchanged
00:00:09.024 --> 00:00:15.327
The combined intellect of the neuroscientists engineers mathematicians and
00:00:15.048 --> 00:00:17.369
hackers
00:00:17.052 --> 00:00:19.921
in this auditorium
00:00:20.012 --> 00:00:24.887
pales in comparison to even the most basic AI
00:00:25.998 --> 00:00:30.045
Once online a sentient machine will quickly overcome the limits of biology
00:00:30.006 --> 00:00:34.207
And in a short time its analytical power will be greater
00:00:34.036 --> 00:00:36.966
than the collective intelligence
00:00:37.032 --> 00:00:41.962
of every person born in the history of the world
00:00:54.048 --> 00:00:57.245
So now imagine such an entity
00:00:57.004 --> 00:01:01.979
with a full range of human emotion Even self awareness
00:01:02.044 --> 00:01:06.764
Some scientists refer to this as the Singularity
00:01:07.044 --> 00:01:09.761
I call it Transcendence
