Ten years later, in 1999, I wrote 'The Age of Spiritual Machines,' asserting that computers would not only develop minds like humans but also possess consciousness and spirituality by 2029.

My book 'The Singularity is Near' projected that AGI would occur by 2029, a prediction that is now considered conservative by many experts.

The exponential growth of technology has been consistent since the beginning of recorded history, and my predictions have largely come to fruition over the past 30 years. By 2029, we will have computers that can think better than any human, leading up to the singularity in 2045.

Current AI models are approaching a level of intelligence that rivals human capabilities, suggesting that artificial general intelligence (AGI) may already be here.

Many people in the field are negative about AGI, fearing it will wipe out humanity, but I argue that by 2029, we will have intelligent systems that could potentially know what's better for the planet.

2029 for achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a conservative estimate.

The timeline for achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) is uncertain, with predictions varying widely, but many believe it could happen sooner than previously thought, possibly by 2040.

In early 2023, I realized AI development was outpacing our ability to control it, influenced by the impressive capabilities of ChatGPT and my work on analog computation at Google.

We are likely to see AI surpass human intelligence by 2029, with capabilities that will allow it to perform tasks beyond human ability.
