A Singularitarian group wants to make you immortal using nothing more than all your secrets and keepsakes...

Are computer scientists, ordinarily classified as engineers, in such high demand in traditional scientific fields that we'd want to reclassify them?

Another day, another Singularitarian idea for measuring artificial intelligence, this time, through statistical problem solving.

A new way of creating positrons hints at a potential shortcut towards antimatter engines. But we're still a long way off from such spacecraft...

The Tau Zero Foundation has a radical plan for exploring interstellar space with an extreme spaceship. Problem is, it might not be radical enough.

Engineers are using evolutionary algorithms to design new ion engines for spacecraft.

Computers that can tell when someone isn't being genuine or mocking them, that's exactly what we wanted...

Could babies show future robots the proper way to interact with other humans?

Is it possible to simulate and compute our way to solving the mysteries of the universe and actually get it right in the end?

Bill McKibben isn't worried that the Technological Singularity will never happen. He's worried it will usher in an era of fascist ubermensch who will destroy humanity as we know it.

Defining artificial intelligence is a very difficult problem, both philosophically and mathematically. So it's little wonder some people interested in AI want to take some shortcuts...

Computers and robots are probably not going to be our friends or act like anything other than our helpers and tools in the real world. And that's ok.

A new computer language wants computers to learn about the world the same way we do: using statistics.

We interrupt our normal update to bring you a message from the post-Singularity future.

Recruiters and employers are now snooping through candidates' social media because they can. That open them to potential liability and have far-reaching affects across social platforms.
