The Singularity Summit is the premier conference on the Singularity. As we get closer to the Singularity, each year's conference is better than the last.
Artificial Intelligence is probably the most important technology in humanity's future. Now is the time to be looking closely at its benefits and risks.
If you plan on attending the Singularity Summit 2009, please register at https://www.singularitysummit.com/registration/ by midnight Eastern (9 PM California time) on October 2nd, this coming Friday.
