Singularity occurs when humans transcend biology, opening up endless possibilities in artificial intelligence & robotics. One day, everyone could live in the cloud and believe it to be the real world. Considered both frightening and thrilling, the controversy surrounding singularity will obviously increase- just as exponential growth ensures rapid technological advancements.
“What happens when machines decide they can do a better job than us? This occurs only when we create a computer with enough power to create another computer,” says Mob- happy’s Russell Buckley. While this may not happen in the immediate future, it has been nonetheless a fear of humanity since the industrial revolution–but to deny the pursuit of such innovation may also prohibit human evolution.
Russell Buckley is a leading practitioner, speaker and thinker about mobile and mobile marketing.
MobHappy, his blog about mobile technology, is one of the most established focusing on this area. He is also a previous Global Chairman of the Mobile Marketing Association, a founder of Mobile Monday in Germany and holds numerous non-executive positions in mobile technology companies. Russell learned about mobile advertising startup, AdMob, soon after its launch, and joined as its first employee in 2006, with the remit of launching AdMob into the EMEA market. Four years later, AdMob was sold
to Google for $750m.
By night though, Russell is fascinated by the socio-political implications of technology and recently graduated from the Executive Program at the Singularity University, founded by Ray Kurtzweil and Peter Diamandis to “educate and inspire leaders who strive to understand and facilitate the development of exponentially advancing technologies in order to address humanity’s grand challenges”.
