The noted inventor and futurist’s successor to his landmark work explores how technology will transform humanity in the coming decades. Since its release in 2005, Kurzweil’s vision of an exponential future has sparked a global movement, with many of his predictions about technological advancements, such as AI and biotechnology, becoming mainstream. In this new work, he reassesses his 1999 prediction that AI will achieve human-level intelligence by 2029 and examines the exponential growth of technology that could amplify human intelligence a millionfold. Key topics include rebuilding the world atom by atom with nanobots, extending life beyond the current age limit of 120, and connecting our brains to the cloud. He discusses how exponential technologies are driving innovation across industries, improving well-being by reducing poverty and violence, and advancing renewable energy and 3-D printing. Additionally, he addresses the potential dangers of biotechnology, nanotechnology, and AI, including their impact on employment, the safety of autonomous vehicles, and the controversial "After Life" technology designed to virtually revive the deceased using their data and DNA. This work represents the culmination of six decades of research on artificial intelligence and Kurzweil’s significant contribution to understanding the impending technological revolution.
