The technological singularity is usually sold to you as a prediction. A date. A curve. A moment when the machines wake up, and everything changes.

I have conducted more than 300 interviews since 2009, listening to the people who tell that story. The futurists. The engineers. The believers.

Here is what I have come to believe.

The singularity is not a forecast. It is a story. And whoever gets to write that story gets to shape what it means to be human.

This July and August, I am joining machine learning expert Thomas Hamelryck at Philosophy Portal for Singularity Summer. Eight live lectures across two months. Thomas takes the first month to open up the machine. What machine learning actually is, what it is not, and where it breaks.

Then I take August for the part that the engineering never answers. The human story inside the #AI machine, and how we might write a better one.

This is not a course about #MachineLearning as destiny. It is about #technology as the How, never the Why or the What. It is about who holds the pen writing our story.

So here is my question.

When the story of the #singularity gets written, are you going to be a reader or one of the authors?

Eight live sessions. Lifetime access to the recordings.
