Renowned futurist Ray Kurzweil forecasts that by 2045, humanity will reach the singularity—a moment when human and artificial intelligence converge.
In his latest book, The Singularity is Nearer, Kurzweil argues that this impending technological revolution will exponentially boost human intelligence, in part through the integration of nanobots into our brains.
This prediction builds on his earlier claims, where he anticipated the advent of artificial general intelligence (AGI) by 2029.
As Popular Mechanics reports, Kurzweil views the merging of man and machine as inevitable, predicting it will dramatically enhance human consciousness and cognitive abilities.
However, this transformation raises significant questions: What will be the impact on the job market? Could it pave the way to immortality?
Kurzweil remains optimistic, citing potential breakthroughs in medicine and the introduction of universal basic income as solutions to these challenges.
Despite the uncertainties, he is confident that humanity is on the brink of entering a new era, where technological and biological fusion will redefine what it means to be human.
