The Singularity Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization for the pursuit of Friendly AI and responsible intelligence enhancement - a mission of immense potential and consequence. Because intelligence determines how well problems are solved, the responsible enhancement of intelligence - a safe Singularity - will make difficult problems, such as the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s and AIDS, much easier to solve. If intelligence is improved greatly, every humanitarian problem will be more amenable to solution. Because AI is positioned as the first technology to enhance intelligence significantly, the Singularity Institute concentrates on the research and development of humane AI. By solely pursuing a beneficial Singularity, we present the rare opportunity for rational altruism. This has been added to Artificial Intelligence Resources Subject Tracer Information Blog.
