Expert predicts date when 'sexier and funnier' humans will merge with AI machines

“By 2029, computers will have human-level intelligence,” he said in an interview with SXSW.

“That leads to computers having human intelligence, our putting them inside our brains, connecting them to the cloud, expanding who we are.

“Today, that’s not just a future scenario. It’s here, in part, and it’s going to accelerate.”

He adds that by 2045 humans will “multiply our effective intelligence a billion fold by merging the intelligence we have created”.

“What’s actually happening [is] machines are powering all of us,” he said.

“They’re making us smarter. They may not yet be inside our bodies, but, by the 2030s, we will connect our neocortex, the part of our brain where we do our thinking, to the cloud.”

He adds “We’re going to be funnier, we’re going to be better at music. We’re going to be sexier

“We’re really going to exemplify all the things that we value in humans to a greater degree.

“Ultimately, it’s going to affect everything. Augmented reality will be with us at all times.

“We’re going to be able to meet the physical needs of all humans. We’re going to expand our minds and exemplify these artistic qualities that we value.”
