At a TED-like techno-geek symposium in the 2014 film Transcendence, Artificial Intelligence guru Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is asked by an audience member, “So you want to create your own god?” And he answers, “Isn’t that what man has always done?”
Pierre Tran's insight:
Pour certains, les transhumanistes se prennent pour des dieux.

While it can be a blast going to see the latest Hollywood sci-fi thriller, watching it along with a leading expert in the science and technology fields relevant to the dystopian color and light in front of you can make it that much better. Such was the case at a recent screening of “Transcendence,” — director Wally Pfister’s sci-fi epic starring Johnny Depp — when I was joined for a screening by Barney Pell, a pioneer of general game-playing programs in artificial intelligence (AI), founder of the Powerset AI-based search engine, and once an autonomous robotics researcher and manager at NASA.

In the movie Transcendence, which opens in theaters on Friday, a sentient computer program embarks on a relentless quest for power, nearly destroying humanity in the process. The film is science fiction but a computer scientist and entrepreneur Steven Omohundro says that “anti-social” artificial intelligence in the future is not only possible, but probable, unless we start designing AI systems...

Here's what you need to know about singularity. CHRIS OSTERNDORF, 16/04/2014
Pierre Tran's insight:
La transcendance, basée sur la singularité, n'est pas seulement une fiction, c'est une redoutable réalité.

This is Part 2 of a two-part interview with Barney Pell, a pioneer of general game-playing programs in artificial intelligence (AI), founder of the Powerset AI-based search engine, and once an autonomous robotics researcher and manager at NASA. Pell joined interviewer Scott Adelson for a screening of “Transcendence,” directed by Wally Pfister and starring Johnny Depp. The sci-fi movie pivots off the latest AI technology to offer a fictional depiction of what the future may hold. Here is Part 1 of their Q&A. Barney Pell, 02/05/2014

With films about the symbiosis of man and machine like ‘Transcendence’ and ‘Her,’ Hollywood’s had an epiphany: to be human is to be transhuman. Jason Silva, 26/04/2014

Johnny Depp is the genius scientist who chats with his widow while planning to transform (or destroy) the world in this provocative but ponderous AI thriller. Richard Corliss, 16/04/2014
Pierre Tran's insight:
Pour Richard Corliss, dans le film Transcendance, ce n'est que l'intelligence artificielle.

Pierre Tran's insight:
Transcendence, avec Johnny Depp et Morgan Freeman. va populariser les concepts de singularité (point d'inflexion du progrès technologique où l'intelligence des machines dépassera celle des humains) et du transhumanisme (un nouvelle humanité née de la fusion de l'humain et des technologies). "Est-ce la clé de l'immortalité, ou la voie de la destruction ?" Ca s'annonce passionnant !
