Man or Machine interview by Ray Kurzweil

I’ve mentioned in a few posts about the shift in computing capabilities and how that will change what humans may be focused on in the future and if there will be a day when computers have all the answers.

 

In an interview covering a few similar areas, Ray Kurzweil and The Wall Street Journal's Alan Murray discussed advances in artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and what it means to be human. Ray is always a bit optimistic in his view of the future, but I’d rather be actively optimistic than passively caught by surprise.
