Ben Goertzel's Singularity Summit 2009 Presentation


In early October 2009 Ben Goertzel gave a presentation at the Singularity Summit in New York City. This page gathers some information pertinent to his presentation there.


For Your Edification and Amusement...
  • A video of the talk, placed online courtesy of Michael Anissimov
  • The presentation used during the talk (as a clickable QuickTime movie: use the arrow keys to move forward)
  • The text written for the Summit speech (although the actual speech was delivered spontaneously, not read, so the text is just the general outline and inspiration for the speech, not actually identical to the speech in detail)
  • A 90 minute video of Ben rehearsing his Summit speech at his desk at home. This contains a lot more detail and discussion than the text file linked above, or the actual 20 minute Summit talk. Also the "local charm" of seeing a corner of Ben's messy study!
