Ray Kurzweil has been an oracle for AI for several decades and is back with a new book, "The Singularity Is Nearer." In it, he predicts AI will hit human-level smarts by 2029 and that humans and machines will merge by 2045.
"We are going to expand intelligence a millionfold by 2045," Kurzweil claims, suggesting that this merger will deepen our awareness and consciousness.
