Founding of the Singularity University

By Peter Diamandis
This week marks the launch of a new University. It’s rare to launch a
new University these days, so I’m very honored and pleased to have
given birth to Singularity University (www.singularityU.org) along
with fellow X PRIZE Trustee Ray Kurzweil. Singularity University (or
“SU”) aims to assemble, educate and inspire a cadre of leaders who
strive to understand and facilitate the development of exponentially
advancing technologies and apply, focus and guide these tools to
address humanity’s grand challenges. SU is located on the campus of
NASA Ames/Moffett Field. It has been founded with the support of
Corporate Founders of Google and ePlanet Ventures, as well as a dozen
Associate Founders (Moses Znaimer, Keith Kleiner, Barney Pell, Klee
Irwin, Sonia Arrison, Dan Stoicescu, Georges Harik, Reese Jones, David
S. Rose, Sabiha Malik Foster, Peter L. Bloom, Geoffrey Shmigelsky). |
