2045: the year in which man becomes immortal?

Kurzwell Raymond argues that human civilization as we know it will end in 2045, when computers exceed human intelligence. The concept of singularity. A controversial article in Time.

A person who in 1965 at age 17, built a computer capable of comcolocar music is undeniably someone intelligent. That man is Raymond Kurzweil, and has a message for us. This apostle of transhumanism, artificial intelligence expert engineer, believes that we are approaching the time when machines gain consciousness. At that time he called the singularity.

It is a fact that computers are becoming faster, and is also a fact that this acceleration in its computing power is increasingly the case quickly. In this incredibly fast pace, it is logical that there will come a time they are able to do something we imagine only the scope of human intelligence. And it means doing arithmetic at a rate devilish comcolocar or piano music, but to drive cars, write books, make ethical decisions, appreciate the beauty of art, sharp comment at a cocktail party.

It costs up to the idea, but Kurzweil and many other intelligent human believe this will happen. When it reaches that point, there is reason to believe that computers will stop the process to stop getting more and more powerful. In fact, it would cease to be much, much smarter than us. The rate of growth would accelerate, as it would be they who departed to their human creators (very slow to think) to make decisions that affect their own development.

Imagine a computer scientist who was in turn a super intelligent computer. Work to an incredibly high rate, handling huge amounts of data effortlessly. Not even have to take little break to see what it says on Facebook.

It is impossible to predict the behavior of these superior to human intelligence, with one day have to share the planet. In fact, if we could we'd be as smart as them.

Do we mix with them to create super-intelligent cyborgs? Do we use computers to expand our intellectual abilities, like we use cars to expand our physical abilities? Perhaps these artificial intelligence to help fight the effects of aging, achieving the desired reach immortality.

Maybe we can turn our consciousness (our true selves) in computers, to live inside a kind of software. That would be a virtual, eternal life in a matrix to the letter in which nothing we lack. Maybe they revolt against us and annihilate as in Terminator.

Whatever happens, life as we know it now will cease to be recognizable. This is the uniqueness. Scared? For if we listen to Ray Kurzweil, this time not only inevitable but imminent. If his calculations were incorrect, missing 35 years for an electronic eye to its creator astonished look, and becomes aware of its existence cybernetics.
