This is part II of our coverage of Singularity Summit 2011, focusing on the topics of artificial intelligence and the brain.After reading this article, don't forget to read Part I Longevity And Health, and Part III Singularity And The Future.  Also, you can see all three parts rolled into one story if you prefer.

In a testament to just how fast the coming cyberization of mankind has progressed, a new report published by the Daily Mail entitled, "Hitler would have loved The Singularity: Mind-blowing benefits of merging human brains and computers," reaffirms most of what I have been writing about for the better part of a year. Namely, that the merging of man and machine is much closer than the average person is willing to believe.

Recently Adam Ford conducted a fascinating video interview with transhumanist pioneer Max More (the latest in a long and wonderful series of video interviews by Adam). We are pleased to present you with both the video interview itself, and an edited textual transcript. Enjoy!

...or at least that's what Ray Kurzweil thinks. He has spent his life inventing machines that help people, from the blind to dyslexics. Now, he believes we're on the brink of a new age - the 'singularity' - when mind-boggling technology will allow us to email each other toast, run as fast as Usain Bolt (for 15 minutes) - and even live forever. Is there sense to his science - or is the man who reasons that one day he'll bring his dad back from the grave just a mad professor peddling a nightmare vision of the future?

Comme vous l'aurez remarqué, ce blog porte le titre de "The Transcendent Man's blog", ceci nous amène à la notion de l'homme transcendé ou en d'autres termes à l'avènement d'une époque où l'homme et la technologie ne feront plus qu'un !  Je conçois que cette notion peut vous sembler soit lointaine alors qu'elle est déjà si présente, soit complètement folle et pourtant il vous suffit d'observer un tant soit peu l'évolution exponentielle des usages technologiques pour comprendre dans les grandes lignes les trajectoires qui se précisent de jour en jour devant nous : l'homme augmenté, l'IA, le Global Brain, la Robotique, les nouvelles interfaces hommes/machines, le M to M, les exo-Squelettes ou exo-Brain que sont par exemple déjà vos smart-phones, … et la liste devient de plus en plus longue et imminente ! "L'informationnel pervasif en ligne de mire d'une prospective vers la singularité !"

Nova Spivack explains collective intelligence and speculates about a coming global brain.
