In a brand-new video posted to YouTube by the Adagio channel, futurist Ray Kurzweil discusses his theories on how humans could achieve immortality and the singularity as soon as seven years from now.
Both ideas might need a significant stretch of reality, but Kurzweil and his supporters are pretty nimble. The idea of the singularity is the point at which AI becomes uncontrollable by humans and drastically changes civilization. It’s challenging, to put it mildly, to anticipate this date.
Yet according to Kurzweil, the idea of immortality, which might be attained as early as 2030, is a vital step on the route to a hypothetical Singularity in 2045.
And what will bring it about is the quick development of artificial intelligence.
