Kurzweil

Ray Kurzweil at SXSW



Ray Kurzweil talks about artificial intelligence in this interview. He said by the year 2029 computers like WATSON will become as intelligent as the human brain. This computer can read the entire library of Wikipedia, 200 million documents at the time of this interview, and remember all of it. There are dangers with new technologies, its a double edge sword. What really astonished me was the fact that a child in Africa today has more information access on his cell phone than the president of the united states had 15 years ago. The same child is using a billion dollar worth of communication and computation networks.
