Excerpt from Ray Kurzweil's new book - "Singularity is Nearer" which is an update on his previous book "Singularity is Near."


What exactly is the Singularity?

Today, we have one brain size which we cannot go beyond to get smarter. But the cloud is getting smarter and it is growing really without bounds. The Singularity, which is a metaphor borrowed from physics, will occur when we merge our brain with the cloud. We are going to be a combination of our natural intelligence and our cybernetic intelligence and it is all going to be rolled into one. Making it possible will be brain-computer interfaces which ultimately will be nanobots AI robots the size of molecules AI that will go noninvasively into our brains through the capillaries. We are going to expand intelligence a millionfold by 2045 and it is going to deepen our awareness and consciousness.
