ABSTRACTS AND KEY WORDS FOR ARCHIVE JOURNAL ARTICLES The Journal of Geoethical Nanotechnology Featured Articles: How Neuronanotechnology Will Lead to Melding of Mind and Machine Ray Kurzweil, Ph.D. Abstract: Entrepreneur, author, futurist and producer, Ray Kurzweil, deftly explains a path to understanding the basic principles of human and artificial intelligence, and reverse engineering of the brain in attempting to copy intelligently biological subsystems and brain uploading as well as why the Law of Accelerating Returns will make these possible sooner than many think possible. Key Words: Ray Kurzweil, Terasem, workshop, Geoethical, Nanotechnology, Lincoln, Vermont, AI, Genereal AI, strong AI, narrow AI, artificial intelligence, reverse engineering, brain, biological subsystems, brain uploading, non-biological intelligence, GNR, genetics, robotics, reprogramming, programmability, Turing Test, Law of Accelerating Returns, reading machine, technology trends, biology, pattern recognition systems, self-organization, brain-scanning, fractal, stochastic. Typos: Third paragraph after “Image 2: Reader “: “If all the AI systems in the world suddenly stopped functioning, our economic infrastructure would grind to a halt. Your bank would cease doing business. Most transportation would be crippled. Most communications would be crippled. This was the not the case a decade ago. Of course, our AI systems are not smart enough—yet-- to organize such a conspiracy. Strong AI. If you understand something in only one way, then you really don’t understand it at all. This is because if something goes wrong, you get stuck with a thought that just sits in your mind with nowhere to go. _____________________________________________________ Upgrading Humans – Technical Realities and New Morals Kevin Warwick, Ph.D. Abstract: Dr. Warwick, Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading, England, describes how his 1998 experiment allowed him the title of the world’s first, ‘Human Cyborg’ when he implanted a Radio Frequency Identification Device (of his own design), within his body. Dr. Warwick also explains the present and possible future benefits of the technology of merging man and machine.

Key Words: Martine Rothblatt, civil rights, artificial life, Frankenstein, imitation, bio-plastic, robot, I Robot, Astro Boy, Matrix, Cylons, Battlestar Gallactica, Typos: 1. Second paragraph below Astro Boy and Cylons photos: In SteveN Spielberg's film, "A.I." [6], a mother dumped the cute little AI kid with the hankering for spaghetti at the side of a highway. That's a pretty mean thing for a mother to do. We will give her a brownie point though, for tossing him out with his robot teddy bear. Also, remember how the wise and kind father kicked the "Bicentennial Man" [7] out of the house that he so immaculately maintained and made a fortune for wise father – all because he simply asked for a living wage. Empowerment, via the creation of an imitation, followed by disappointment due to the imitation feeling separate, unequal, unloved, and/or threatened, followed by conflict arising out of humanity's inadequate response to its imitation's unhappiness and then regret based on humanity's disdain for finding itself in conflict. To Interface the Future: Interacting More Intimately with Information William Kraemer, M.S. Abstract: Mr. Kraemer deftly explains how human interaction with digital computers will change in the near future, from the initial user interface to the evolving thought pattern recognition and braincomputer interface.

Key Words: Geoethics, evolution, consciousness, Antropocene, cosmic heritage, galactic ecosystem, connectedness, non-dualism, Typos: In closing, let me tell you what I think is happening now, to us, to sentient creatures on this planet: We are experiencing growth of consciousness, an extension of self – in Damasio's term. Everybody (add the word: who?) now lives on Earth, is participating in a mental migration into a global frame of reference – the only (the only what??) dramatically revealed to us a few decades ago in the Apollo photograph of the planet. Everybody has moved – unevenly, of course – into the global arena. Everybody is also – again, unevenly – becoming aware of the universe in a way that people were not when they merely gazed at the night sky. The media send all our minds tumbling into an environment of new experiences, promises, fears beyond the scope of anything previously known. Out at the edges of this are scientific and technological discoveries that promise further transformations. A time not only for big ideas, but also for great deeds. and big ideas. It is also a time when we have a very real chance of destroying our planet and world civilization. ________________________________________________________ In Our Post-Singularity Age Jameson Dungan Abstract: Mr. Jameson explores the transforming nature of information technology within the philosophy of biology toward an understanding of what life itself is and exploring the potential of flexible biology and recursive information.

Under the second callout: The primary contenders toward achieving a neurological life… (this a very long paragraph)… … It’s obviously very complicated and requires a solid understanding of how consciousness works, and then how to recreate the consciousness with technology, and feed it to a person’s brain. However, if the conscious experience is the result of chemical/electrical processes, then cognitive technology should, in theory, have the ability to create a perfect simulation.
