I am codirector of IDSIA near Lugano. Since age 15 or so my main scientific ambition has been to construct an optimal scientist, then retire. In 2028 they will force me to retire anyway. By then I shall be able to buy hardware providing more raw computing power than my brain. Will the proper self-improving software lag far behind? If so I'd be surprised. This optimism is driving my research on general purpose universal learning machines.
