The noted inventor and futurist's successor to his landmark book The Singularity Is Near explores how technology will transform the human race in the decades to come Since it was first published in 2005, Ray Kurzweil's The Singularity Is Near and its vision of an exponential future have spawned a worldwide movement. Kurzweil's predictions about technological advancements have largely come true, with concepts like AI, intelligent machines, and biotechnology now widely familiar to the public. In this entirely new book Ray Kurzweil brings a fresh perspective to advances toward the Singularity--assessing his 1999 prediction that AI will reach human level intelligence by 2029 and examining the exponential growth of technology--that, in the near future, will expand human intelligence a millionfold and change human life forever. Among the topics he discusses are rebuilding the world, atom by atom with devices like nanobots; radical life extension beyond the current age limit of 120; reinventing intelligence by connecting our brains to the cloud; how exponential technologies are propelling innovation forward in all industries and improving all aspects of our well-being such as declining poverty and violence; and the growth of renewable energy and 3-D printing. He also considers the potential perils of biotechnology, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence, including such topics of current controversy as how AI will impact employment and the safety of autonomous cars, and "After Life" technology, which aims to virtually revive deceased individuals through a combination of their data and DNA. The culmination of six decades of research on artificial intelligence, The Singularity Is Nearer is Ray Kurzweil's crowning contribution to the story of this science and the revolution that is to come.

這位著名的發明家和未來學家的繼任者在其里程碑式著作The Singularity Is Near的續作中探討了科技將如何在未來幾十年內改變人類
自2005年首次出版以來，Ray Kurzweil的The Singularity Is Near及其對指數未來的願景引發了一場全球運動。Kurzweil對科技進步的預測大多已成真，像是人工智慧（AI）、智能機器和生物技術等概念如今已為大眾所熟知。 在這本全新的書中，Ray Kurzweil為邁向奇點的進展帶來了全新的視角——評估他在1999年預測的AI將在2029年達到人類智力水平，並檢視科技的指數增長——這將在不久的將來使人類智力增長一百萬倍，並永遠改變人類生活。他討論的主題包括用納米機器人等設備逐步重建世界；超越目前120歲的壽命極限的激進生命延續；通過將我們的大腦連接到雲端來重新定義智力；指數科技如何推動各行各業的創新並改善我們的福祉，例如減少貧困和暴力；以及可再生能源和3D列印的增長。他還考慮了生物技術、納米技術和人工智慧的潛在危險，包括當前爭議的主題，如AI將如何影響就業和自動駕駛汽車的安全，以及“後生命”技術，旨在通過結合個體的數據和DNA來虛擬復活已故個體。 作為對人工智慧六十年研究的總結，The Singularity Is Nearer是Ray Kurzweil對這一科學故事及即將到來的革命的巔峰貢獻。作者簡介
