Nice podcast of a talk given at Accelerating Change 2005. Vinge is a mathematician and sci fi writer who popularized the term Singularity (originally due to Ulam?) to describe the rapid acceleration of technological change that might accompany the development of machine intelligence beyond our own.
Previously I discussed the impending singularity, the relation to the Turing test and AI for kids.
