Click to download audio version Artificial Intelligence is often
misunderstood. And much like blockchain, those who fiercely stand by the
technology believe it will change the world for the better. Others fear the
negative repercussions it could bring it and would rather see it disappear.
We're joined by Ben Goertzel. Ben's interest in AI and robotics date back to his
childhood and he has made these his life-long passion and work. He is the CEO of
SingularityNET, a company building a marketplace for AIs which leverages
blockchain. He is also Chief Scientist at Hanson Robotics who has brought us the
now famous Sophia robot. When he's not building blockchains and robots, he leads
the OpenCog open-source AI framework and is Chair of Humanity +, an organization
which focuses on technology and ethics. Topics discussed in this episode: Links
