A Human Calculation |
|---|---|
| Synopsis |
An estimate based on known facts.......Scheming selfishness A Human Calculation finds its motivation from the predictions of futurist Ray Kurzweil’s point of singularity. The moment, as Ray calculates it, when “technological change becomes so rapid and profound it represents a rupture in the fabric of human history”. He pinpoints 2045 as the year when the computer will surpass the power of all human brains combined. Why would we place ourselves on this trajectory when the super computer could impact humanity so gravely and perhaps contribute to our own demise? |
