Robots will inherit the earth, BUT... prisma echt. studentisch.

Jose Luis Cordeiro is a futurist thinker, the director of the Venezuelan node of the Millennium Project as well as energy advisor and part of the founding faculty of Singularity University (SU). In his speech at this year's START Summit he passionately argued that things like human-level artificial intelligence or physical immortality aren't nearly as far away in the future as most people would think, due to the power of exponential growth patterns observed in Moore's Law and other key areas, and he shared his vision of how technology will change almost every aspect of our lives, including ourselves. His conception of the future is very similar to that of his friend, the author, inventor, director of engineering at Google and co-founder of Singularity University, Ray Kurzweil. Both are radical optimists, both believe in a merger of humans and machines and both don't shy away from controversy. After Cordeiro's keynote I had the chance to do a short interview with him.
