The Eighteenth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-2002) will feature an invited talk by Ray Kurzweil on "Human Level 'Strong' AI: The Prospects and Implications" on August 1.
Well before the year 2030, "Three-dimensional molecular computing will provide the hardware for human-level "strong" AI," he says, referring to machine intelligence that is indistinguishable from that of humans.
However, "we will not program human-level intelligence link by link (e.g., the expert system 'Cyc'), but rather as an elaborate architecture of parallel self-organizing systems," he says. Instead, "the more important software insights will be gained in part from reverse-engineering of the human brain, a process well under way."
AAAI-2002 is scheduled for July 28 - August 1, 2002 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
