Singularity Summit 2010
The Singularity Institute is pleased to host the Singularity Summit 2010, a rare gathering of thinkers to explore the rising impact of science and technology on society. The summit has been organized to further the understanding of a controversial idea – the Singularity scenario. We invite scientists, futurists, and everyone interested in the future of the human species to attend.
Past Summits
Founded in 2006 by the Singularity Institute, Ray Kurzweil, and Peter Thiel, the inaugural summit was held at Stanford, the first academic symposium focused on Singularity dialogue.
Past speakers have included Doug Hofstadter (author of Gödel, Escher, Bach), Peter Norvig (Google Director of Research), Sebastian Thrun (Stanford AI Lab Director), Rodney Brooks (MIT Professor of Robotics), Justin Rattner (CTO of Intel), and Stephen Wolfram (CEO and Founder of Wolfram Research).
