Dr.
Noam Chomsky is a famed linguist, political activist, prolific author
and recognized public speaker, who has spent the last 60 years living a
double life -- one as a political activist and another as a linguist.
His activism allegedly made him the US government's public enemy number
one. As a linguist he is often credited for dethroning behaviorism and
becoming the "father of modern linguistics" (and/or cognitive science).
Put together his accomplishments are the reasons why he is often listed
as one of the most important intellectuals of the 20th century. And so I
was very much looking forward to interviewing him on Singularity 1 on
1.
Unfortunately our time together was delayed, then rushed and a
bit shorter than anticipated. So I was pretty nervous throughout and
messed up some of my questions and timing. Never-the-less, I believe
that we still had a worthy conversation with Dr. Chomsky and I
appreciate the generous though limited time that he was able to grant
me.
During our 28 minute conversation with Noam Chomsky we cover a
variety of interesting topics such as: the balance between his academic
and his political life; artificial intelligence and reverse engineering
the human brain; why in his view both Deep Blue and Watson are little
more than PR; the slow but substantial progress of our civilization; the
technological singularity...
