One of America’s head inventors and futurists, Ray
Kurzweil, is claiming that computers will be so advanced by 2029 they
will be capable of telling us jokes and even flirting. Kurzweil has been
known for his bold forecasts about the tech world.
His
inventions include speech-recognition machines, scanners, and
synthesizer keyboards. For one prediction he had made in 1990, he
declared that within 10 years’ time a computer would win in a chess game
playing a human. Just seven years later, Garry Kasparov, a grand master
at chess, was defeated by the computer known as Deep Blue. The top
expert for Google also predicted the wide usage of the Internet.
Kurzweil
said, during an interview with The Observer, that a decade ago experts
in artificial intelligence (AI) believed that computers would not
overtake human being for hundreds of years. "And a pretty good
contingent thought that it would never be done,” he added.
