The successor to a renowned inventor and futurist explores how technology will change us in the coming decades
Inventor Ray Kurzweil offers a fresh perspective on the singularity, assessing his own 1999 prediction that AI would reach human intelligence by 2029, and exploring the explosive growth of technologies that will expand human intelligence millions of times in the near future and change lives forever.
From remaking the world atom by atom with nanobots, to reimagining intelligence by connecting our brains to the internet, to reducing poverty and violence, to the rise of renewable energy and 3D printing, to their potential dangers: the impact on employment, the safety of autonomous vehicles, and After Life technology, which aims to virtually resurrect the dead by combining data and DNA.
"The Singularity is Near" is the culmination of sixty years of research in the field of artificial intelligence and the most significant contribution to the history of science.
