Josh Hall March 17, 2010 The question of the relative roles of nanotechnology and AI in forging the shape of the future has been argued in techno-futurist circles for decades.
Eric Drexler mentioned AI as a potentially disruptive technology in his seminal 1986 book Engines of Creation, and it was discussed at the very first Foresight conference 20 years ago. It is generally assumed that a self-improving super-human level of AI is part and parcel of the Singularity, and indeed, such was the basis of I. J. Good’s and Vernor Vinge’s conception of the “intelligence explosion.” One thing Drexler predicted in Engines was that without needing to create true human-level intelligence, automated design systems — narrow as opposed to general AI — would enable the creation of highly complex nanosystems, well beyond the capabilities of mere human designers.
What does a Singularity look like with just nanotech and narrow AI? So, back to the present. J. The Universe Is Recording Information Holographically. The Antikythera Mechanism - 2D.
