Kevin Warwick on the Singularity: Be/Come the Cy/Borg
from Singularity.FM · host Nikola Danaylov
This is my second interview with Prof. Kevin Warwick. Last time I had him on Singularity 1 on 1 – "You Have to Take Risks to be Part of the Future," he shared his views on a wide variety of topics such as human and artificial intelligence, robotics, the technological singularity, God, the beginning of the universe and so on. This time around Kevin discusses issues such as: the difference between genius and madness; the magnetic implants and sensory-substitution-devices developed by his students; the recent problems surrounding his rat-brain-cell-robot project; the historical contribution, under-appreciated genius and tragic life of Alan Turing; the Turing Test; Watson – IBM’s amazing Jeopardy champion; and, finally, be/coming cy/borg.
