À propos de cet audio

 The noted inventor and futurist’s successor to his landmark book The Singularity Is Near explores how technology will transform the human race in the decades to come

Since it was first published in 2005, Ray Kurzweil’s The Singularity Is Near and its vision of an exponential future have spawned a worldwide movement. Kurzweil's predictions about technological advancements have largely come true, with concepts like AI, intelligent machines, and biotechnology now widely familiar to the public.

In this entirely new book Ray Kurzweil brings a fresh perspective to advances toward the Singularity—assessing his 1999 prediction that AI will reach human level intelligence by 2029 and examining the exponential growth of technology—that, in the near future, will expand human intelligence a millionfold and change human life forever. Among the topics he discusses are rebuilding the world, atom by atom with devices like nanobots; radical life extension beyond the current age limit of 120; reinventing intelligence by connecting our brains to the cloud; how exponential technologies are propelling innovation forward in all industries and improving all aspects of our well-being such as declining poverty and violence; and the growth of renewable energy and 3-D printing. He also considers the potential perils of biotechnology, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence, including such topics of current controversy as how AI will impact employment and the safety of autonomous cars, and "After Life" technology, which aims to virtually revive deceased individuals through a combination of their data and DNA.

The culmination of six decades of research on artificial intelligence, The Singularity Is Nearer is Ray Kurzweil’s crowning contribution to the story of this science and the revolution that is to come.

An optimistic view of the future. But one with deep, yet undiscussed, existential concerns about what it means to be human.

What if you or your loved one became 1,000 times smarter. Would you still connect with them and love them? What would you become?

Kurzweil is not concerned. I am but will march forward with progress.

A thought provoking introduction to a potential near future of mankind

I think it depends on what level you are at in understanding the convergence of the digital world and nature world and how the principles of both are symbiotic.

The correlation between the natural world and the digital world.

Too much fluff. Lots of assumptions and little to back it up. Just uses common sense to make his case, which most of us can see for ourselves already.

First 2 hours were good. Then the rest was very dull with generic filler. Still a very interesting subject.

Just that. If even 20% of what he says is true, the future will be unimaginable. Worth listening to—especially if you disagree with what he’s saying.

Incomparable

Mostly Democratic Party talking points, like repeating incessantly that the garbage Covid vaccine was “safe and effective “.

Annoying
