Scientists, enterpreneurs, analysts claim that it the inner structure of technology that generates this exponential trend: named "Law of Accelerating Returns", this law predicts that mankind will reach within a few decades an unprecedented moment of radical change: the Singularity.

The very idea of Singolarity is strongly linked to the the explosion of intelligence, since the construction of the first general Artificial Intelligence will have a tremendous impact on the the whole process. With the help of thinking machines we will able to tackle in new ways old problems, and, of course, to build even better artificial minds. This second generation will bring us a third, smarter generation, and so on: the explosion of intelligence will change forever our life - entertainment, health care, education are just some of the fields that will be revolutionized by the massive use of reliable AI products.

The Singularity scenario is exciting, but the road to this extraordinary goal is full of challenges (both in science and technology) and dilemma (both in moral values for individuals and in general laws for societies): if the positive consequences of the exponential development are obvious, unintended, socially biased outcome must be avoided.

Raymond Kurzweil - one of the most important scientist in the field - will talk about technological progress from a somewhat unusual perspective, that is his personal scientific and enterpreneurial journey towards Singularity.

The result of this research program could be an importan breakthrough in our understanding of how complex events and concepts are generated by simple elements and elegant rules: in practice, the upshot would be a new universal language to express unsolved problems and an algorithmic procedure to find solutions.

Through the theory of the Models of Reference, knowledge may become finally computable, that is understandable by a computer: at that point, artificial minds will help us completing the description of the universe.

Gabriele Rossi - Diagramma C.E.O. and iLabs founder - will present the iLabs account for the "Solution of the Game", exploring the main practical advantages of this approach and detailing the connections between the structure of the world, the structure of society and the forthcoming technological revolution.

In recent years many efforts have been made to tackle the problem of ageing from original perspectives. Starting from an "engineering" point of view, the core of the project is to keep the level of cumulative damage under the critical threshold, repairing tissues when necessary to restore the full capabilities of our cells.

According to the SENS research agenda, there are seven different types: although there is no guarantee that the current list is complete, in the last twenty years of research on the topic no major changes have been made. If it is true that we should wait at least some decades for a perfect understanding of cellular metabolism, the good news is that repairing the damages is already possible with the current scientific tools. The result of the massive use of these strategies will be a first substantial extension of human life-span.

Aubrey de Grey - SENS Foundation CSO - will explain the theoretical framework of regenerative medicine, with a special focus on state-of-the-art technologies currently under development.

Getting closer to the "Solution of the Game" means new theories and tools to reach Semi-Immortality: by answering the many questions we still have on our body, we will eventually have a real chance to diagnose and heal any degenerative process.

The Mathematics of the Models of Reference can be applied to describe the whole Human System, possibly leading to two milestones in life-span extension research: an exhaustive, fundamental theory on the functioning of the mind - that is, the Psychology of the Models of Reference - and a methodology to quantify precisely the biological age of a subject (the "rate of ageing"). These tools promise to help us maintain general efficiency while waiting for the exciting developments of the near future, when it will be finally possible to directly enhance our abilities.

Antonella Canonico - iLabs founder - will address several topics in psychology and explain how recent breakthrough in evidence-based medicine may help the constant, efficient monitoring of personal health.

From an ethical perspective, the choice of the fundamental values of the new law is heavily constrained by the final goal - the radical extension of human life-span. Therefore, the chosen principles are explicitely designed to maximize the chance that the individuals will eventually reach together the Solution of the Game.

From a more formal point of view, the great news is that the law is likely to be perfectly computable, thus allowing artificial minds to help humans in judging the behavior of any intelligent system. The final outcome will be an impartial and fair judgment, which in turn will strenghten the social ties among individuals.
