Rok 2029 se blíží. A s ním i Kurzweilova nejodvážnější předpověď. Jeden z nejvýznamnějších průkopníků AI ukazuje, jak umělá inteligence promění naše schopnosti, těla i samotnou představu o tom, co znamená být člověkem. Nejnovější a nejucelenější příspěvek amerického futurologa k pochopení technologické revoluce, jejíž strmý pokrok denně registrujeme, nabízí autorův aktuální náhled na cestu k technologické singularitě. Kurzweil se v bilanci vrací ke své předpovědi z roku 1999, podle níž AI dosáhne úrovně lidské inteligence kolem roku 2029, a zaměřuje se na neutuchající exponenciální růst výpočetního výkonu, díky němuž se v blízkém budoucnu milionkrát rozšíří schopnosti naší civilizace. Předpovědi respektovaného vynálezce, které se během jeho šedesátileté kariéry vesměs naplnily, se však nezabývají výhradně výzvami k inovacím či k propojení lidského mozku s cloudem. Popisují i rizika využívání nanotechnologií nebo eticky kontroverzní pokusy o virtuální obnovení podoby zemřelých.

Within our lifetimes, 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. Here Kurzweil explains how the Singularity will occur and what it will mean to live free from the limits of biology: What will we choose if our bodies need no longer define us? What new realms of beauty, connection and wonder might we inhabit? Who will we become if our minds can be stored and duplicated? Drawing on a lifetime’s expertise, Kurzweil presents deeply reasoned answers to these questions and argues that we can and will transform life on earth profoundly for the better.

By the end of this decade, AI will exceed human levels of intelligence. During the 2030s, it will become 'superintelligent', vastly outstripping our capabilities by almost every measure and enabling dramatic new 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.

From the world's preeminent AI futurist: a fascinating account of how mapping the human mind leads to ever more intelligent machinesRay Kurzweil, described by Bill Gates as 'the best person I know at predicting the future of artificial intelligence', offers a provocative exploration of the most important project in human-machine civilisation: reverse-engineering the brain to understand precisely how it works and using that knowledge to create even more intelligent machines. Kurzweil sets out how the brain functions, how the mind emerges from the brain, and the implications of vastly increased and evolving intelligence in addressing the world’s problems. He thoughtfully examines emotional and moral intelligence and the origins of consciousness and envisions the radical - arguably inevitable - future of our merging with the intelligent technology we are creating, aka 'the singularity'.
