Kurzweil reveals his memoir 'My Exponential Life' arrives in February and he is building an AI self-pod that will be more capable than he is, available to conduct interviews on his behalf.
Kurzweil has maintained since 1999 that AGI will arrive by 2029, and predicted that debate over whether AGI has arrived would begin around 2026.
Kurzweil predicts the Singularity — representing a million-fold increase in intelligence over human levels — will occur by 2045.
Kurzweil noted AI summarized an entire book and answered questions about it in 40 seconds — roughly 100 times faster than humans could do the same task.
