Book Review: 'The Singularity Is Nearer' by Ray Kurzweil
Ray Kurzweil’s recent book The Singularity Is Nearer: When We Merge with AI (Viking, June 2024) updates his previous work, The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology (Viking, 2005). Perhaps the world’s foremost AI researcher, the author is perhaps best known as the brand name on rock-band keyboards. He pioneered the digital sampling of musical instruments so that those sounds could be generated (synthesized) at the press of a key - not just played back as recordings. He was also an early developer of optical character recognition (OCR) and voice synthesis.
He now heads up AI research at Google.
Not only closer than you’d think - closer than you may be able to believe!
This one was incredible enough.
