  Bruce is focused on raising the awareness of the Singularity Institute's mission to foster safe artificial general intelligence. He is an entrepreneur and social activist, presently serving as president of Novamente, and previously known for creating the Immortality Institute. In 2004, he edited "The Scientific Conquest of Death", a volume devoted to examining the biological and philosophical arguments against dramatically extending the healthy human lifespan, with 18 contributors, including Michael Rose, Aubrey de Grey, and Michael West. In the same year, the tragic death of Klein's mother led him to create a documentary film to promote the Immortality Institute's mission to overcome the "blight of involuntary death." He traveled the US, interviewing scientists and futurusts on the subject of life extension, leading to the film "Exploring Life Extension."
