Abstract: Ever since mathe matician I.J. Good speculated about the conception of a first ultra intell igent machine in 1965\, it has been hypothesized that a technological sing ularity will occur when the invention of artificial superintelligence will abruptly trigger runaway technological growth. Increasing computational r esources and network connectivity coupled with the accumulation of large a mounts of data and advances in machine learning are fueling beliefs that u nbounded self-evolving systems will soon emerge. In this seminar\, Pascal Poupart will discuss… DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20201022T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20201022T150000 LAST-MODIFIED:20210610T230308Z LOCATION:Please register to receive the Zoom link SUMMARY:Are we experiencing a technological singularity? - Pascal Poupart\, Professor\, University of Waterloo TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://caida.ubc.ca/event/are-we-experiencing-technological-singularit y-pascal-poupart-professor-university-waterloo END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
