AI: Artificial Intelligence by 2029

US National Academy of Engineering have formed a committee of 18 erudite think-tank which includes Larry Page (Google co founder), Dr Craig venter (Top Genome pioneer) and Ray Kurzweil (Thinker and Futurist) to discuss the greatest technological challenges for humanity in 21 century.

Mr Kurzweil (Head of committee) is predicting that by 2029 we will have kind of softwares and hardwares that would enable machines to archive human level intelligence.

"We'll have intelligent Nanobots go into our brains through the capillaries and interact directly with our biological neurons," Kurzweil told BBC News.

What do you think? Can we achieve such AI or its just surreal dream?

I have no clue, though 2029 seems early. I guess it depends on what kinds of tasks and capabilities you're talking about. Meanwhile, I'll defer to Uri, who unfortunately is not hanging out at the moment: www.blogcatalog.com/user/urikalish

yes, but can they get a team of experts to give my ex-girlfriend the same intelligence level of a toaster?

Not by 2029 unless there is a HUGE advance in storage, CPU, and battery technology between now and then, which could very well happen.

We may get there,progress is speeding up.What would it do to the brain though if this thing would malfunction?
Have you seen Repilee?

We may achieve it,but what will it do to your brain function if it shorts out or something ? Have you seen the Japanese Repilee

I am amazed that many believes it is achievable. I don't think its achievable in next 1000 years.

Lest machine rule man, such development should immediately be banned.

dear milan,
machine will not rule man. and you yourself will be able (educated) to have control over these little nanobots. the same goes for anti-aging.

ray et al are masters to focus peoples attention on -at the moment-
unbelievable technology. don´t get caught in their act :-)

  It is a very possible scenario that intelligent man-made machines WILL eventually take over this planet and eradicate the dangerous human race. It may be the next step in "our" evolution.
