The Machine Intelligence Research Institute

Wheeler was the mentor of Richard Feynman , Hugh Everret, Kip Thorne and Jacob Benkenstein . What role did he have for you?

Max Tegmark: It has been a great source of inspiration and above all encouraged me to pursue my own ideas even if they might seem foolish in the eyes of my colleagues. This is very important when you are a young researcher to have the support of such a giant of physics. I actually agree with him that the information theory should be the key to the most basic physics. Thus, there would be no need to assume the existence of a yet unknown ingredient to explain the nature of consciousness.

Futura-Sciences:  The Machine Intelligence Research Institute (formerly Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence ) organizes conferences around the theme of technological singularity which is one of the gurus Ray Kurzweil . You gave one of them at the Singularity Summit 2011 . More recently, Steven Hawking, Nobel laureate and professor of physics at MIT and Frank Wilczek Stuart Russell, professor of computer science at Berkeley known for his contributions to the AI , you wrote an article in the Huffington Post on the occasion of the release of the film Transcendence that incorporates many of the technological singularity associated with ideas.

According to you, we do not take seriously enough the risks posed the development of artificial intelligence. Does this mean that you, Hawking Russel Wilczek believe in progress by Ray Kurzweil and Eliezer S. Yudkowsky theses?
