Jaan Tallinn Discusses CSER, Existential Risk and the Intelligence Explosion
UPDATE : Jaan will be speaking at EA Global Oxford : http://eaglobal.org/oxford
==The Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER)
For the uninitiated, what is xRisk?
What's the difference between the study of xRisk at CSER and other approaches to combating global risks in the past ? What does CSER do that is unique?
What is CSER (Centre for the Study of Existential Risk)?
Progress at CSER?
What categories of xRisk have CSER focused on?
I understand Dr. Seán Ó hÉigeartaigh is involved, who is also at the Oxford Future of Humanity Institute (who I have also interviewed) - what does he do there?
Other notable people include Haw Price, Martin Rees, Stephen Hawking, Max Tegmark, Margaret Boden etc

He is also a partner in a seed-stage venture firm Ambient Sound Investments, co-founder and chairman of MetaMed Research -- a startup intent on revolutionising healthcare, and a co-founder of the Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk - a research centre at the University of Cambridge investigating the risks and opportunities of future technologies.
===The Intelligence Explosion
Can you discuss the "Intelligence Stairway" idea (a cascade-like pattern in which we produce machines whose ability to control the future exceeds that of the process that produced them)?
Will the intelligence explosion be a similar phase transition to the rise of humans within the animal kingdom, or the industrial revolution?
