The Age of Spiritual Machines

When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence
Book • 2000
In 'The Age of Spiritual Machines,' Ray Kurzweil presents a prophetic blueprint for the future where the capabilities of computers and humans become increasingly intertwined.

The book explores the exponential growth of technology, particularly in artificial intelligence, and predicts a future where computers will exceed human intelligence.

Kurzweil discusses the blurring of lines between human and machine, the emergence of new forms of intelligence, and the potential for humans to migrate their consciousness into machines.

The book is a thought-provoking analysis of human and artificial intelligence and their evolving relationship in the 21st century.
