Loading...A shockwave passed through the singularity community today with the public launch of Singularity University at the NASA Ames campus in Silicon Valley. Singularity University aims to assemble a world class community of thought leaders, academics, and entreprenuers across the many fields of exponentially advancing technologies (nanotechnology, genetics, medicine, artificial intelligence, etc.) in order to address humanity’s grand challenges.
With significant backing from Google and NASA, and with the participation of a renowned cast of faculty and advisors, Singularity University is poised to literally overnight become a world class institution for the innovation, collaboration, and leadership that will allow the world to capitalize on the great promise of technology to solve the world’s greatest problems…

Congratulations on the founding- it’s good to see the establishment of an institution that is in synch with the times.
Congratulations:
It has been a nice surprise to know about the oppening of SU, but even most surprising is that I knew that in a latinoamerican country and in a local TV news program. Probably for most people here this was the very first time that they listened something about this thing called Singularity, and this is a good thing by its own.
The only thing that I could regret from the project is its exclusive focus in technology and maybe a bit of economics. Given that by definition a Singularity is highly unpredictable in its behaivor any effort to foresee it, and lead it, should have the most broad paradigms and lines of research. In that sense is that I miss an approach from the Education, like a critical link into take to the main public the issues of Singularity and in their time, to help them to get into it.
Greetings.
