RAY KURTZWEIL "and others contend that we are fast approaching the “technological singularity,” a point at which artificial intelligence, or A.I., surpasses human intelligence, with unpredictable consequences for civilization and human nature." http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/03/02/the-philosophy-of-her/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=1 View in LinkedIn

WHO IS RAY KURZWEIL? "He has received 20 honorary doctorates, has been awarded honors from three U.S. presidents, and has authored 7 books (5 of which have been national bestsellers)." http://singularityhub.com/2015/01/26/ray-kurzweils-mind-boggling-predictions-for-the-next-25-years/ View in LinkedIn

KURTZWEIL'S CORRECT PREDICTIONS. "According to Ray Kurzweil, 89 out of 108 predictions he made were entirely correct by the end of 2009. An additional 13 were what he calls “essentially correct" (meaning that they were likely to be realized within a few years of 2009), for a total of 102 out of 108. Another 3 are partially correct, 2 look like they are about 10 years off, and 1, which was tongue in cheek anyway, was just wrong." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictions_made_by_Ray_Kurzweil View in LinkedIn

NANOBOTS. "By the 2030s, 'nanobots' will plug our brains straight into the cloud. These nanobots, Kurzweil said in a webinar earlier this year, will give us 'full immersion virtual reality from within the nervous system.' In other words, our brains will be connected to the cloud. "Just like how we can wirelessly expand the power of our smartphones 10,000-fold in the cloud today," he says "we'll be able to expand our neocortex in the cloud." http://www.businessinsider.com.au/ray-kurzweil-most-extreme-predictions-2015-11#/%23by-the-2030s-nanobots-will-plug-our-brains-straight-into-the-cloud-1 View in LinkedIn
