Starting this summer,
some of the world's leading thinkers in exponentially growing technologies will be gathering annually at NASA Ames Research Center, in the heart of Silicon Valley, for 10 weeks of discussions on how to change the future. And you could join them.
The gatherings will be part of what is known as Singularity University, a brand-new academic institution co-founded by inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, X Prize chairman and CEO Peter Diamandis, and former Yahoo Brickhouse head Salim Ismail, and anyone can apply.
Singularity University is less a traditional university and more an institution that will feature intensive 10-week, 10-day, or 3-day programs examining a set of 10 technologies and disciplines, such as future studies and forecasting; biotechnology and bioinformatics; nanotechnology; AI, robotics, and cognitive computing; and finance and entrepreneurship.
The founders anticipate that students will come from all over the world, and they hope the program results in the founding of new companies, the evolution of scientific and technological thinking, and the solidifying of professional and personal networks among the highly-accomplished students and faculty.
In addition to the core 10-week course, which will be open to graduate and post-graduate students, Singularity University will also offer 3-day and 10-day executive programs. The shorter version will be targeted at CEOs and CTOs, while the 10-day program will be aimed at rising-star executives who want to add to their knowledge and networks.
„These programs are there to give executives a look at what's in the lab today,” said Diamandis, „and what is likely to hit the marketplace in the next 5 to 10 years.”

Az általában az emberéhez hasonló gépi intelligencia megjelenéseként definiált Technológiai Szingularitásra egyelőre ugyan várni kell még – ki tudja meddig, s valóban várunk rá? –, az elméletet kidolgozó Ray Kurzweil rendkívül aktív: legutóbbi kezdeményezése a szerteágazó (inter)diszciplínával foglalkozó egyetem, amely 2009 nyarán nyitja meg kapuit a jövő technológiái és hatásaik iránt érdeklődők, például jövőkép-készítők és vállalatvezetők számára is.

A 'Szingularitásegyetem' egy szóba írandó, mert a 'szingularitás' szó főnév.
Vagy szebben: 'Szigularitás Egyeteme'.
