Autrans 2004 (2e partie) : Thierry Gaudin, les enjeux de la société cognitive Par Daniel Kaplan le 25/03/04 | 2 commentaires | 1,894 lectures | Impression Thierry Gaudin ( prospectiviste, président de Prospective 2100 ( a impressionné l’auditoire des dernières rencontres d’Autrans lors de sa conférence inaugurale. En mettant en perspective les questions de bien communs publics, de coopération et d’appropriation sociale, il a proposé quelques thèmes de réflexion qui devraient nous accompagner longtemps : celui de la société de la reconnaissance (plutôt que de la connaissance), celui de la place des “communs” et de la propriété intellectuelle et celui des “crises” passées et à venir de la société de la connaissance.Ce compte rendu fait suite à celui que nous avons consacré à Christian Huitema, également intervenant aux rencontres 2004 d’Autrans.

Singularity Institute The Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI) is a non-profit organization founded in 2000 to research safety issues related to the development of Strong AI. The organization advocates ideas initially put forth by I. J. Good and Vernor Vinge regarding an "intelligence explosion", or Singularity, which MIRI thinks may follow the creation of sufficiently advanced AI.[1] Research fellow Eliezer Yudkowsky coined the term Friendly AI to refer to a hypothetical super-intelligent AI that has a positive impact on humanity.[2] The organization has argued that to be "Friendly" a self-improving AI needs to be constructed in a transparent, robust, and stable way.[3] MIRI was formerly known as the Singularity Institute, and before that as the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence. History[edit] In 2003, the Institute appeared at the Foresight Senior Associates Gathering, where co-founder Eliezer Yudkowsky presented a talk titled "Foundations of Order".

MediaFuturist Martin Börjesson (futuramb) The personal blog of Futurist Thomas Frey » Blog Archive » 12 Laws of the Future 12 Laws of the Future For several decades now I have been contemplating our relationship with the future. Many of my colleagues think of me as that crazy guy who assigns human attributes to this thing we call the future. On occasion you can hear me uttering phrases like, “I know it’s going to be a great day because the future is clearly happy with me today.” At one point I even tried to convince my wife that the future wanted me to buy a new car, but she wasn’t buying it. So why is it so important to study the future? The Physics of Time Vs the Physics of the Future “As physicists, we believe the separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, although a convincing one.” – Albert Einstein From everything I’ve studied, past observers have focused on the concept of the future as being a consequence of time, rather than a stand-alone force of nature. The History of the Future 1.) 1. 2. 3. Clarke often joked that Newton had three laws, and so three were also enough for him. 2.)
