"He was presented with the 'Future of Health Technology Award' in Massachusetts Institute of Technology." Upon googling the "Future of Health Technology Award", I found that the top result was this webpage, which has no mention of MIT at all (or Kevin Warwick, for the matter). Even if Warwick received the award at MIT, it is misleading to insert the name of such a prestigious institution even if the preposition is "in" and not "by". 74.66.91.49 ( talk) 01:54, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
This article needs a strong "criticism" section and a mention of the lack of support from his scientific peers in the lead section. [1]. Warwick's press is notable, sure. But he's also known for over inflating his qualifications and the importance of his research (see: cyborg, chatbot, almost all his robots). His qualifications are puffed up and their connections to notable universities are tenuous at best (The Coventry link, for instance, is a search page returning 462 results, none of them relevant. Searching for Kevin Warwick returns 2 results, none relating to him). This article smacks of NPOV and a huge rewrite is in order. Mysekurity 19:29, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
I have tried to provide some balance to the opening criticism statement. The citations previously given, which have been retained, contain both criticism and support. However the present criticism section certainly does not seem neutral. The first two lines are not represented by the citations given and a lot of the words used appear misplaced, e.g. there is no mention of ‘scientific rigour’ in the citations. I tried the Coventry link given above and it appears to return results relating directly to Kevin Warwick. One of the posts has, it seems, been there since December 2013. Perhaps this was overlooked. In fact searching for “Kevin Warwick” on the Coventry University site returns, as the top link, a biography which itself supports several entries on the page. The latter part of the section, referring to the Turing test, is better supported but should this be in the Turing test section of the page? -- DanversCarew ( talk) 09:22, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
The article still sounds *very* positive, and more seems like promoting Warwick than being of a critical evaluation of him. I am an AI researcher myself, closely familiar with much of leading AI research world-wide, and I had never heard about Warwick or his work before (and having recently read about, I can now certainly understand why.) The article paints a completely inappropriate picture of Warwick that has nothing to do with the reality of his accomplishments. He seems to have lots of acceptance from UK academic and non-academic circles, but this is disproportional to his actual achievements in AI or in computer science. The article desperately needs to be fixed to clear this up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.233.179.227 ( talk) 04:46, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
As several other editors have noted above, this article needs to be rewritten with a less promotional tone, and more note made of Warwick's criticism. Given that his specialty is exaggerating his accomplishments to the media, it is a bit difficult to find news sources that don't just republish his headline-friendly claims. However, the following citations may be helpful.

Just wanted to let this page know that per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bradka, the users Bradka, GillSanderson, and DanversCarew are CU-confirmed to be socks of each other. (As an SPI clerk, looking at their contrib histories more closely than earlier, I would have made a finding that they were connected even without CU confirmation.) Essentially every edit made by each of those three is either promotional of Kevin Warwick or minor edits on other pages running interference. I intend on looking fairly carefully at the edits to this page directly that those editors have made and perhaps stubifying to start over – some other editors to this page also seem like SPAs.
