Gelernter vs. Kurzweil on AI
Two of my favorite thinkers will duke it out at MIT on Thursday, 11/30/06. I believe there is to be a webcast, and that it will be recorded. Check the site.
PROGRAM:
Creativity: the mind, machines, and mathematics
A Celebration of the 70th Anniversary of Alan Turing's Seminal Paper "On Computable Numbers" featuring a debate on the limits of intelligent machines and a lecture on Turing's contributions.
In Celebration of:
100 years anniversary of the birth of Kurt Gödel
70 years since Alan Turing’s seminal paper “On computable numbers”
50 years since the start of Artificial Intelligence research at Dartmouth College
4:30-5:30pm Public Debate
David Gelernter vs. Ray Kurzweil
Moderated by Rodney Brooks
Are we limited to building super-intelligent robotic 'zombies' or will it be possible and desirable for us to build conscious, creative, volitional, perhaps even 'spritual'
machines?
