AI WARNING: Robots will be SMARTER than humans by 2045, Google boss says

Ray Kurzweil, Google's Director of Engineering, has maintained his view over the years that AI will reach human intelligence by 2029, but now the search engine expert has said machines will exceed humans intelligence 16 years following that. The point where robots become smarter than humans is known as the'singularity', and that is a little less than two decades away, say experts. The year 2045 will be where AI comes into its own and become the most intelligent species on the planet, according to Mr Kurzweil. He told Futurism: "2029 is the consistent date I have predicted for when an AI will pass a valid Turing test and therefore achieve human levels of intelligence.
