JOHN MARKOFF of The New York Times wrote an article “Scientists Worry Machines May Outsmart Man”
“Their concern is that further advances could create profound social disruptions and even have dangerous consequences.
As examples, the scientists pointed to a number of technologies as diverse as experimental medical systems that interact with patients to simulate empathy, and computer worms and viruses that defy extermination and could thus be said to have reached a “cockroach” stage of machine intelligence.”NYT

What a surprise…Thursday June 18th 2009 I got to present at IdeaCity! (sharing the stage with great visionaries such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Ali Velshi/CNN, Pete Worden/ NASA, Preston Manning, Pascal Lee, NASA Haughton-Mars Project Lead, Josef Penninger, Prominent Genetics Investigator and 45 other scientists, explorers, artists and activists) I really got ” lucky” when Randi Zuckerberg, Director of Market Development, Facebook got stuck at the airport in New York City, and could not make it to present that evening…as I saw Moses Znaimer’s index finger pointing at me, from behind the stage curtains (I was sitting at the third row) I had 3 minute notice and I was on stage…
ideaCity, also known as ‘Canada’s Premiere Meeting of the Minds’, is an eclectic gathering of artists, adventurers, authors, cosmologists, doctors, designers, entertainers, filmmakers, inventors, magicians, musicians, scientists and technologists.
Fifty of the planet’s brightest minds converge on Toronto each June to speak to a highly engaged audience. Only 497 are privileged to attend.
Produced and presented by Moses Znaimer, ideaCity is not themed around any one topic, issue or business. There are no scripted speeches or, breakout or parallel sessions. Rather, everyone is in one place and in on the same narrative.
Can you imagine…this was last summer!!
On Sunday, September 20, I will be taking part in the second annual Variety Village Walk-n-Roll Fundraiser. Funds raised will go towards providing opportunities for kids to hope, learn, dream and grow through adapted programs and services offered at Variety Village.
Variety Village is the only integrated sport training, fitness and life skills facility for people of all abilities in North America. At Variety Village, children of all abilities are encouraged to achieve their goals through inclusive and adapted programs and activities. Our work goes beyond wheelchair basketball and swimming lessons; the Village inspires children to reach for new heights and teaches them that strength of spirit is the key to success.
We did great last year! We will be running another fundraiser this year!
You will be able to follow our progress here!
