I thought I'd pass this on from another group....
Maybe one of us who is local can go along?
Damn I wish I was there... :-)

Here is a debate this Thursday at MIT on a really big question:
Creativity: the mind, machines, and mathematics
A Celebration of the 70th Anniversary of Alan Turing's Seminal Paper "On
Computable
Numbers" featuring a debate on the limits of intelligent machines and a
lecture on
Turing's contributions.
In Celebration of:
100 years anniversary of the birth of Kurt Gödel
70 years since Alan Turing’s seminal paper “On computable numbers” 50
years since the start of Artificial Intelligence research at Dartmouth
College
4:30-5:30pm Public Debate
David Gelernter vs. Ray Kurzweil
Moderated by Rodney Brooks
Are we limited to building super-intelligent robotic 'zombies' or will it be
possible and desirable for us to build conscious, creative, volitional,
perhaps even
'spritual'
machines?
