The Construction of Light
Thursday, 14 November, 2013
"And if a bird can speak, who once was a dinosaur And a dog can dream; should it be implausible That a man might supervise The construction of light?" – Adrian Belew Yesterday I gave a keynote lecture at Beyond AI 2013: Aritficial Golem Intelligence, in Pilsen, Czech Republic. As I explained at the beginning of the talk, I adopted a broadcast (many topics covered lightly), rather than my usual narrowcast (a single topic covered in depth, with arguments!), strategy. My apologies for the sound: there were technical difficulties with the microphones at several points. Abstract: Approaching artificial general intelligence (AGI) from the perspective of machine consciousness (MC), I will briefly address as many of the topic areas of the conference as possible within the time allotted: The mind is extended, but Otto's beliefs are not in his notebook; Prosthetic AI vs AGI (Nature of Intelligence) Scepticism about MC and the threat of atrocity (Risks and Ethical Challenges) Theodicy, the paradox of AI, and the Imago Dei; Naturalising the Spiritual (Faith in AGI) Narrative, dreams and MC; Herbert's Destination Void as research programme (Social and Cultural Discourse) How to fix GOFAI; the Mereological Constraint on MC (Invoking Emergence) Artificial creativity as embodied seeking of the subjective edge of chaos (AI and Art) Media: • Streaming video (hosted externally) • Slides (.pdf)
