Out of Sight, AI in Mind (with Hod Lipson)

The ultimate engineering challenge - to build a machine that can build something else, that is what Professor Hod Lipson is after.  He describes roboticists as reincarnations of ancient alchemists who are working to breathe life into matter, exploring self-awareness, and participating in a quest to understand what it means to be human.
