From Michael Anissimov's blog...
Does Google’s tech staff have the rationality and vision to understand the huge importance of Artificial General Intelligence to humanity’s future, and realize that the issue requires attention now rather than later?
Maybe yes, maybe no, but it looks like we’ll soon find out, as Ben Goertzel of the Singularity Institute will be giving a talk there. On the AGI list, Ben writes:
FYI, I am scheduled to give a talk to Google’s tech staff on AGI and Novamente, later in the month…
I believe Eliezer may be speaking there sometime soon, also…

With Google’s Director of Search Quality, a pioneer in AI himself - Peter Norvig - making an appearance at the upcoming Singularity Summit II, it looks as if SIAI and Google are starting to form some sort of relationship. It’ll be interesting to see where this goes!
See here for an earlier post of mine on the Google’s rumored push towards AGI and my opinion on it.
pretty cool stuff... SIAI
