Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Inc.: “Our charitable purpose is to bring about the
Singularity – the technological creation of greater-than-human intelligence. We believe that the creation of greater-than-human
intelligence would result in an immediate, worldwide, and material improvement to the human condition.”

“I wouldn’t be
surprised if tomorrow was the Final Dawn, the last sunrise before the Earth
and Sun are reshaped into computing elements.” Making HAL Your Pal. “If a computer becomes sufficiently smart, the argument goes, and
if it gains the ability to harm humans through nanotechnology or some means
we don’t expect, it may decide it doesn’t need us or want us around.” Portrait of a grandiose 21-year-old autodidact who believes the dangers of the Singularity are so imminent he has devoted his life to attempting to persuade others of the necessity to enforce the friendliness of AI entities. Because he’s an avid science fiction fan, his efforts take a form akin to Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics, of course. Wired
