Who will we become if our minds can be stored and duplicated?

What new realms of beauty, connection and wonder might we inhabit?

How will we navigate the risks presented by such awesomely powerful technology?By the end of this decade, AI will exceed human levels of intelligence.

During the 2030s, it will become ‘superintelligent’, vastly outstripping our capabilities and enabling dramatic interventions in our bodies.

By 2045, we will be able to connect our brains directly with AI, enhancing our intelligence a millionfold and expanding our consciousness in ways we can barely imagine.

This is the Singularity. Ray Kurzweil is one of the greatest inventors of our time with over 60 years’ experience in the field of Artificial Intelligence.

Dozens of his long-range predictions about the rise of the internet, AI and bioengineering have been borne out.
