| Summary | Kurzweil’s The Singularity is Nearer is written as a successor to The Singularity is Near, in which the author explores the prospective digital transformation of humanity. In the foundational text, Kurzweil predicted that AI would reach human level intelligence by 2029 alongside a general boom in wide-spread technology adoption. The Singularity is Nearer seeks to legitimize these predictions through a review of successful human-AI use cases such as the mitigation of violence, poverty, and environmental impacts facilitated through the adoption of technological innovation. Kurzweil also explores societal challenges related to widespread AI adoption such as employment and the safety of autonomous vehicles. |
