We could get to the singularity in ten years says AGI pioneer Ben Goertzel, but we needed a strategy to reach this goal. Such goal can be achieve if right kind of people focus on right things. He gave some ways and examples to achieve this goal like…. Dantzig’s solution to ‘unsolvable’ statistics problems, where Dantzig’s solved …...
A team of scientist developed an implanted interface called “e-Dura” which could help in partially damaged spinal cord through a combination of electrical and chemical stimulation. They are going to soon test it to improve or enhance the existing state of partially damage spinal cord in human. Their e-Dura implant is designed specifically for implantation on …...
Over the past few years in both Future Studies and Labour Studies circles, there has been much rhetoric going around about digitisation or technological automation causing unemployment and rendering human workers redundant. It is neither a secret nor a cause for surprise, that as we increase our technological knowledge and prowess, we will collectively as …...
1 Introduction Where does the mind stop and the rest of the world begin? The question invites two standard replies. Some accept the demarcations of skin and skull, and say that what is outside the body is outside the mind. Others are impressed by arguments suggesting that the meaning of our words “just ain’t in …...
IBM Watson could be the direction of the future. A Machine with AI can do the research of a thousand men instantly without getting tired. Who is WATSON ? Watson is intelligent computer build by IBM which used IBM’s DeepQA software and the Apache UIMA (Unstructured Information Management Architecture) framework. In simple word Watson works …...
The internet is rife with chatter about the transhumanist age we are entering, where radical science and technology are already changing the way we live. Everything fromrobotic hearts to personal drones to mind-reading headsets are here. The new tech coming in just a few years will touch nearly every aspect of our lives, including one of …...
A critical note on transhumanist organizational structure. I am always a bit amused upon hearing other people’s concerns about transhumanism and even transhumanists themselves (depicted as influential, intimidating and even dangerous). Although many transhumanist ideas may sound disruptive and revolutionary to the average citizen, transhumanists themselves are far less the doers, but rather passive observers …...
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), USA is developing 14 Transhumanist technologies for upcoming future. They are developing technologies like Prosthetic Leg, Wireless Brain Computer Interface, Synthetic Tissue, Cartilage Regeneration, Implantable Sensor etc. They have just launched an app for demonstration of their technologies as Bionic Man....
Since I wrote couple of articles on Brain Computer Interface and Visioning 2050 the world has seen the emergence of MindRDR, which allows users to take pictures and upload them on the web through HMDs such as Google Glass, all with just a thought. The future, is here. MindRDR’s innovative app product is a mere beginning. …...
A quiet revolution is happening in competitive sports. Some futurists think that in just decades, humans will sprint faster than horses, people will shoot guns with near-perfect accuracy using bionic eyes, and athletes will swim entire races without taking a breath. Already, untainted urine samples have become as essential to top runners as their shoes. …...
