Lawrence Krauss on Singularity.About the Book 'How will Artificial Intelligence affect crime, war, justice, jobs, society and our very sense of being human? The rise of AI has the potential to transform our future more than any other technology-and there's nobody better qualified or situated to explore that future than Max Tegmark, an MIT professor who's helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial. Skype co-founder Jaan Tallinn on AI and the Singularity Tipler: The Laws of Physics Say The Singularity is Inevitable! Robin Hanson (part 2): Social Science or Extremist Politics in Disguise?!įrank J. Previous Singularity.FM episodes mentioned during this interview: He writes: “In my spare time, I’m president of the Future of Life Institute, which aims to ensure that we develop not only technology but also the wisdom required to use it beneficially.”

He’s written two popular books, Our Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality and the recently published Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, as well as more than 200 nerdy technical papers on topics from cosmology to AI. Max Tegmark is an MIT professor who loves thinking about life’s big questions.

My favorite quote that I will take away from this conversation with Max Tegmark is: Tipler’s Omega Point the Age of Em and the inevitability of our future why both me and Max went vegan the Future of Life Institute human stupidity and nuclear war technological unemployment. But, to quote Lewis Carroll from Alice in Wonderland, “All the best people are.” Furthermore, I am not sure if Tegmark is “mad” but I am pretty sure he is very much “fun” because I had a total blast interviewing him on my Singularity.FM podcast.ĭuring our 90 min conversation with Max Tegmark we cover a variety of interesting topics such as: curiosity and being a scientist reality and math intelligence, AI and AGI the technological singularity Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence populating the universe Frank J. Some people say that renowned MIT physicist Max Tegmark is totally bonkers and refer to him as “Mad Max”. Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
