Bill Hibbard

American computer scientist

Bill Hibbard is a scientist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison Space Science and Engineering Center working on visualization and machine intelligence. He is principal author of the Vis5D, Cave5D, and VisAD open-source visualization systems. Vis5D was the first system to produce fully interactive animated 3D displays of time-dynamic volumetric data sets and the first open-source 3D visualization system.[1][2]

Writings on artificial intelligence

Bill Hibbard is also author of the book Super-Intelligent Machines[3] and several articles about the technological singularity.

The ideas from Hibbard's book were refined in 2008.[4] Hibbard published a series of three papers in 2012 on technical AI risk.[5][6][7] One of these papers[6] won the Singularity Institute's 2012 Turing Prize for the Best AGI Safety Paper.[8]

His 2014 book, Ethical Artificial Intelligence,[9] brings together all his ideas about AI.
