Gerard Boyers writes "The US National Academy of Engineering has predicted that Artificial Intelligence will reach the level of humans in around 20 years. Ray Kurzweil explains:
"We will have both the hardware and the software to achieve human level artificial intelligence with the broad suppleness of human intelligence including our emotional intelligence by 2029. We're already a human machine civilisation, we use our technology to expand our physical and mental horizons and this will be a further extension of that. We'll have intelligent nanobots go into our brains through the capillaries and interact directly with our biological neurons," he told BBC News. The nanobots, he said, would "make us smarter, remember things better and automatically go into full emergent virtual reality environments through the nervous system. It's really part of our civilisation, but that's not going to be an alien invasion of intelligent machines to displace us."
Mr Kurzweil is one of 18 influential thinkers chosen to identify the great technological challenges facing humanity in the 21st century by the US National Academy of Engineering. The experts include Google founder Larry Page and genome pioneer Dr Craig Venter." Link to Original Source
