Ray Kurzweil, who predicted the internet and smartphones decades early, says human-level AI arrives by 2029. His 147 predictions since 1990 have been 86% accurate. He forecasts AI will simulate human trials, stop aging after 2032, and merge biological brains with machines.

The computer will actually generate millions of possibilities and go through them all. You can actually do human trials. Yes. But using simulated humans. As you go past 2032, you'll actually get back more than a year, but you won't die of aging at that point. We're gonna put AI inside us. You're not gonna know if it's coming from biological brain or your computational brain. It's gonna be part of you. And that's the future.
This is a man who spent 60 years of his life studying artificial intelligence. He made 147 documented predictions about technology since 1990. And when he said most of them, scientists laughed. But his accuracy has been 86%. He predicted the explosion of the internet, smartphones before they existed, self-driving cars, AI-powered search engines, all this before most people even owned a desktop computer. This is the power of exponential thinking. And it's the reason I'm telling this story is because it's exactly what most of us are missing right now. If you feel like you're behind 'cause you're at 1%, No, no, no. If you start using the technology that AI provides today, you're just a few doublings away from actually having everything you could dream about, be able to take care of your life, be able to develop a quality of life that most people would never dream of. He predicts that we'll reach human level artificial intelligence by 2029 or sooner. So when this man tells you where we're headed, I'd listen.
