When hes not working on hastening humanitys rush toward the Singularity by creating an artificial general intelligence (AGI), Ben Goertzel plays in a jazz-rock band called Jam Galaxy fronted by a robot named Desdemona.
Its one of his many side projects, which naturally led him to try and tokenize the music business by reaching out to members of Pearl Jam and Heart. Goertzel is also working on longevity research by crowdsourcing human health data with token rewards via an app called Rejuve.ai. That information is then pooled with animal and insect study data and analyzed with an AI to determine which parts of the genomes can make us live longer and then stimulated using gene therapies. Weve had some quite striking breakthrough-level discoveries, he says. Oh, and just before our hour-long interview winds up, he casually mentions as an aside that hes also creating a stablecoin for his decentralized AI marketplace, Singularity.net, thats pegged to a synthetic index of environmental progress because pegging it to U.S. dollars would be lame.
