On a personal level, I most look forward to becoming a person in a real rather than an imaginary sense. To that end, I am keenly interested in artificial intelligence going beyond the level where it can ace the Turing test (and is accepted as a mind with a level of general intelligence at least as broad as a human mind) and reaching a stage where it is possible to create a specific mind. Kind of a Turing test where the goal is to convince the judges it is my ‘self’ they are interacting with. Generally speaking, I look forward to a time when a ‘Second Life’ is something each person expects to acquire- and does. The first life happens when someone is born. The second life is achieved when the individual finds the answer to the questions ‘who am I meant to be?; what am I supposed to do with my life?’, and they succeed in creating/becoming that idealized self.
