Scientist Predicts Singularity Will Arrive Within 21 Years

Renowned futurist Ray Kurzweil predicts that by 2045, humanity will reach the singularity—a point where human and artificial intelligence converge. In his latest book, *The Singularity is Nearer*, Kurzweil suggests this technological revolution will vastly enhance human intelligence, partly through the integration of nanobots into our brains.

This prediction follows his earlier claim that artificial general intelligence (AGI) will emerge by 2029. Kurzweil views the fusion of man and machine as inevitable, believing it will significantly boost human consciousness and cognitive abilities.

However, this transformation raises critical questions about its impact on the job market and the possibility of achieving immortality. Kurzweil remains optimistic, highlighting potential medical breakthroughs and the implementation of universal basic income as potential solutions to these challenges. Despite uncertainties, he is confident that humanity is on the verge of a new era, where technology and biology will merge to redefine what it means to be human.
