Ray Kurzweil, computer pioneer and futurist, presents a hopeful view of what AI can achieve in the future in a wide array of fields, from language translation to medicine, energy, education, transportation, and farming. He argues that by 2029, AI will achieve human level intelligence and that “most diligent people” will reach “longevity escape velocity,” (the ability to add time to our lives through technological advancements at a higher rate than our longevity is being used up).

The mission of the Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence at Discovery Institute is to explore the benefits as well as the challenges raised by artificial intelligence (AI) in light of the enduring truth of human exceptionalism. People know at a fundamental level that they are not machines. But faulty thinking can cause people to assent to views that in their heart of hearts they know to be untrue. The Bradley Center seeks to help individuals—and our society at large—to realize that we are not machines while at the same time helping to put machines (especially computers and AI) in proper perspective.
