AGIRI 2006 Workshop Keynote Speaker: Dr. Stan Franklin (Dir. Institute for Intelligent Systems, University of Memphis) - A Cognitive Theory of Everything: The LIDA Technology as an Artificial General Intelligence.
"Implementing and fleshing out a number of psychological and neuroscience theories of cognition, the LIDA conceptual model aims at being a cognitive 'theory of everything.' With modules or processes for perception, working memory, episodic memories, 'consciousness,' procedural memory, action selection, perceptual learning, episodic learning, deliberation, volition, and non-routine problem solving, the LIDA model is ideally suited to provide a working ontology that would allow for the discussion, design, and comparison of AGI systems. The LIDA technology is based on the LIDA cognitive cycle, a sort of 'cognitive atom.' The more elementary cognitive modules play a role in each cognitive cycle. Higher-level processes are performed over multiple cycles. This talk will give a quick overview of the LIDA conceptual model, and its underlying computational technology." May 20, 2006. (more)

Singularity Summit 2007 Keynote Speaker - Rodney Books: The Singularity, A Period Not An Event.
Whatever writes future history will look back at what we are calling the singularity not as a single event but as a period of time. The singularity period will encompass a time where a collection of technologies were invented, developed, and deployed in fits and starts, driven not by the imperative of the singularity itself, but by the normal economic and sociological pressures of human affairs. A Hollywood treatment of the singularity would have a world just like today's, plus the singularity, as a singular event. In reality, the world will be changing continuously due to rapid growth in technologies that are both related and unrelated to the singularity itself. The future will be embedded in a different world than the one we inhabit. And the AI systems we create will not have the same desires, beliefs, and goals as today-us. Tomorrow-us will be much better equipped for the changes that will take place in our world. This talk will explore how things might unfold and how we will transform ourselves along the way.
