Today my guest on Singularity 1 on 1 is Ben Goertzel. During our 40 min conversation we cover a wide range of topics such as: Ben's original interest in time travel and science fiction; his decision to start working on artificial general intelligence and his views on the potential time-line thereof plus his evaluation of the software vs hardware requirements for building it; scientific funding for AI research in both the USA and China; the technological singularity and our chances of surviving it.
