This is a link post Google and Nasa have teamed up to develop the 'Singularity University'.
Google and Nasa are throwing their weight behind a new school for futurists in Silicon Valley to prepare scientists for an era when machines become smarter than people.

The new institution, known as “Singularity University”, is to be headed by Ray Kurzweil, whose predictions about the exponential pace of technological change have made him a controversial figure in technology circles.

This is a normal post About time!
I studied machine thought last year as part of my course at university and it absolutely fascinated me. Whenever I tell people that I'd like to write about it in a thesis or dissertation people always scoff like, "Yeah, as if robots will ever be able to think." Perhaps not in our lifetime, but the sooner we begin to confront the issue, the more prepared we'll be to deal with the ethical implications of self-aware technology.
