The Faces of AI

I had the pleasure of not only working with the Singularity Institute again for the second year in the row but attending yet another successful event. Kudos to Tyler Emerson and his team.

Additionally, I met a number of the speakers and managed to capture a few of their portraits. While not all of the photos below are of speakers, the majority of them were in the line-up over the course of the two days.

MIT's Rodney Brooks

Ray Kurzweil

John Templeton Foundation's Charles Harper

Christine Peterson

David Friedman

PowerSet's Barney Pell

Eliezer Yudkowsky

Jamais Cascio

James Hughes

J Storrs Hall

Peter Voss

Stephen Omohundro

Wendell Wallach

Sam Adams

Paul Saffo

Steve Jurvetson

Michael Lindsay

Tyler Emerson

Ben Goertzel

Note: Jurvetson was not there on Saturday and Kurzweil did a video appearance on Sunday. Since they were not on-site when I had camera in-hand, the mug shots of them were given to me by each of them directly. I cropped Steve and Ray's mugs to match the photos a little closer to my shooting style.
