interconnectivity to humans for millennia. Just as computers have capacities and processes that are transduced through but extend far beyond the hardware of a single computer, the human brain has evolved to promote social and cultural capacities and processes that are transduced...

Over nearly four decades, Stephen Wolfram has been a pioneer in the development and application of computational thinking and responsible for many innovations in science, technology and business. His 1982 paper “Cellular Automata as Simple Self-Organizing Systems,” written at th...
academic panel at MIT missed the point: “(That is why it is called the Connection Machine.)”189 Hillis’s ambition to build this device boiled in him while he was at MIT, and it finally outstripped what MIT could support, so he gathered a group of students and started a small com...
might safely open, develop, and change. They mixed the crouching nervousness of a secret political party with the vivid nightmares of a nation that had been invaded, abused — humiliated, they said - by nine countries since the mid-19" Century Opium Wars. “We used to worry about w...

with wit and arresting thought expertments—Dennett shows how culture enables reflection by installing a bounty of thinking tools, or memes, in our brains. Language, itself composed of memes, turbocharged this interplay. The result, a mind that can comprehend the questions it pose...

When we consider the future of AI, we need to think about the goals. That’s what humans contribute; that’s what our civilization contributes. The execution of those goals is what we can increasingly automate. What will the future of humans be in such a world? What will there be f...
Even though a supercomputer can “train” a clone of zemself in seconds, the energy cost of producing a mature silicon clone is comparable. Engineering (Homo) prodigies might make a small impact on this slow process, but speeding up development and implanting extensive memory (as D...
Computer scientist Stuart Russell, along with Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, Max Tegmark, and numerous others, has insisted that attention be paid to the potential dangers in creating an intelligence on the superhuman (or even the human) level—an AGI, or artificial general intellige...

new line of mice with a special accessory: an upgraded memory and learning system. When these new and improved mice ran through an IQ test, they outperformed normal mice. Tsien pulled off an extraordinary engineering trick, creating a lineage of smarter mice. This is cowboy scie...
abstract ideas, the theoretical sciences and, often, music as well. I would always smile in response, suggesting that such diagnoses were probably best left to the professionals. I couldn’t pretend, however, that emotional engagement with new acquaintances, even with people I kne...
