Humans and Intelligent Machines

Inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, says intelligent machines are your friends. In this podcast, Kurzweil talks about how artificial intelligence is helping overcome our human limitations and creating better-paying jobs. "That's the purpose of technology, and we are the only species that creates technology. That was enabled by the expansion of the neocortex 2 million years ago--we used that additional neocortex to invent technology. The first technology was language so we could share ideas. Technology is a body and brain extender."
