Here is the documentary I mentioned yesterday. The documentary features interviews of Nick Bostrom, Kevin Warwick, Hugo De Garis and Anne Foerst. After watching this video, it is no wonder Kevin Warwick gets as much attention as he does from pop culture (appearing on Conan O’Brien, among other things). He eerily speaks like someone straight out of a horror science fiction story. Notice how he talks about superintelligent beings and how they’ll be masters of the universe. I think he really underestimates humanity.
The documentary does a great breakdown on AI robots like ASIMO among others. Its quite thorough. Check it out. It is a must see.
Here is a great review of the documentary for after you see it.
Four key philosophers are interviewed in the documentary, including the IEET’s Nick Bostrom, with the other three being Kevin Warwick, Hugo De Garis, and Anne Foerst. The tone is mostly grim and eerie, but a wide spectrum of topics are discussed, including transhumanism, mind-machine mergers, uploading, and artificial superintelligence.
