The singularity is nearer : when we merge with AI
Kurzweil, Ray2024
Book
This is what our future looks like: in the next decade, AI will be able to convince us that it's human. During the 2030s, it will become 'superintelligent', vastly outstripping our capabilities by almost every measure. By 2045, it will be possible to connect our brains with these AIs using invisibly small nanotechnologies. Our minds and theirs will merge, expanding our consciousness more profoundly than we can fully comprehend, unlocking possibilities we can barely imagine. This is the singularity. Ray Kurzweil is a renowned oracle of technology. Dozens of his predictions about the internet and AI that were made decades ago are now being borne out. He sees further because of his first-hand knowledge of the machines, some of which he helped invent, and his deep understanding of the science behind them. In this visionary book, he shares his thinking in a way that everyone can grasp.
