Robots smarter than humans by 2029 (26th February, 2014)
A scientist said robots will be more intelligent than humans by 2029. The scientist's name is Ray
Kurzweil. He works for Google as Director of Engineering. He is one of the world's leading experts
on artificial intelligence (A.I.). Mr. Kurzweil believes computers will be able to learn from
experiences, just like humans. He also thinks they will be able to tell jokes and stories, and even
flirt. Kurzweil's 2029 prediction is a lot sooner than many people thought. The scientist said that in
1999, many A.I. experts said it would be hundreds of years before a computer was more
intelligent than a human. He said that it would not be long before computer intelligence is one
billion times more powerful than the human brain.

Mr. Kurzweil joked that many years ago, people thought he was a little crazy for predicting
computers would be as intelligent as humans. His thinking has stayed the same but everyone else
has changed the way they think. He said: "My views are not radical any more. I've actually stayed
consistent. It's the rest of the world that's changing its view." He highlighted examples of
high-tech things we use, see or read about every day. These things make us believe that
computers have intelligence. He said people think differently now: "Because the public has seen
things like Siri [the iPhone's voice-recognition technology] where you talk to a computer; they've
24
seen the Google self-driving cars."
