The “Father of Artificial Intelligence” Says Singularity Is 30 Years Away

Posted by in categories: government, robotics/AI, singularity

All evidence points to the fact that the singularity is coming (regardless of which futurist you believe).


But what difference does it make? We are talking about a difference of just 15 years. The real question is, is the singularity actually on its way?

At the World Government Summit in Dubai, I spoke with Jürgen Schmidhuber, who is the Co-Founder and Chief Scientist at AI company NNAISENSE, Director of the Swiss AI lab IDSIA, and heralded by some as the “father of artificial intelligence” to find out.

He is confident that the singularity will happen, and rather soon. Schmidhuber says it “is just 30 years away, if the trend doesn’t break, and there will be rather cheap computational devices that have as many connections as your brain but are much faster,” he said.

    Funny sometimes I get dreams that I.m that 1. I.m not sure if it landed already here on earth.
