Machine Intelligence will reach the human level in 2029

On a business trip, a sci-fi magazine attracted me. Now, I have lost my childhood interest in science fiction. This magazine attracted me a lot of attention. Because I cannot find an electronic version, I will just repeat the author's point of view here.

I saw this article in the recommendation list: Machines 'to match man by 100 '.

2029 seems to be a very distant future; most people are probably responding to such predictions like me. Just look at the title. However, I read the original article because I still have some impressions in my brain.

We also recommend that you take a look, because the propher is one of the 18 people who have an influence on 21 Century's major technologies, including google's Founder: larry Page and pioneer in genetic engineering: Dr Craig Venter.

The original text is as follows:
Machines 'to match man by 2029'

Machines will achieve human-level artificial intelligence by 2029, a leading US inventor has predicted.

Humanity is on the brink of advances that will see tiny robots implanted in people's brains to make them more intelligent, said Ray Kurzweil.

The engineer believes machines and humans will eventually merge through devices implanted in the body to boost intelligence and health.

"It's really part of our civilisation," Mr Kurzweil explained.

"But that's not going to be an alien invasion of intelligent machines to displace us ."

Machines were already doing hundreds of things humans used to do, at human levels of intelligence or better, in our different areas, he said.

Man versus machine

"I 've made the case that 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, "he said.

We'll have intelligent nanobots go into our brains... to make us smarter

Ray Kurzweil

"We're 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 ."

Humans and machines wowould eventually merge, by means of devices embedded in people's bodies to keep them healthy and improve their intelligence, predicted Mr Kurzweil.

"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, wocould "make us smarter, remember things better and automatically go into full emergent virtual reality environments through the nervous system ".

Mr Kurzweil is one of 18 influential thinkers chosen to identify the great regular ical challenges facing humanity in the 21st century by the US National Emy of Engineering.

The experts include google founder Larry Page and genome pioneer Dr Craig Venter.

The 14 challenges were announced at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston, which concludes on Monday.
