If you invent a breakthrough in artificial intelligence, so machines can learn, that is worth 10 Microsofts.

— Bill Gates

Thank You

I would like to sincerely thank everyone who made the Singularity Summit possible, beginning with the presenters for their time and devotion to these important issues: Sam Adams, Rodney Brooks, Jamais Cascio, Ben Goertzel, Josh Hall, Charles L. Harper Jr., James Hughes, Neil Jacobstein, Steve Jurvetson, Peter Norvig, Stephen Omohundro, Barney Pell, Christine Peterson, Paul Saffo, Peter Thiel, Peter Voss, Wendell Wallach, and Eliezer Yudkowsky.

Thank you to our sponsors, especially Clarium Capital and Artificial Development; and our media sponsors, including Arlington Institute, Boingboing, KurzweilAI.net, Meraki, MINE, Nanotech Now, Podcast Network, and ScienceBlogs.

The summit would not have been possible without the amazing energy and dedication of SIAI's Bruce Klein; Susan Klein as Wizard of Administration; Stanford Transhumanist Association's Yonah Berwaldt as our remarkable volunteer coordinator; Doug Wolens and the talented camera operators; Drew Reynolds as photographer; Kevin O'Brien, Patty Ann Farrell, Tod Booth, Diane Theodorelos and co. from the Palace of Fine Arts Theathre; superman Kevin Taylor and his gifted team of technicians; and the many others whose effort made the Singularity Summit a great experience.

Finally, I am extremely grateful for the hard work of our exemplary volunteer team who helped with the preparation, logistics, and execution. They were each individually responsible for several positions. They were awesome.
