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

In 1989, I published 'The Age of Intelligent Machines,' predicting that computers would soon mimic the human mind and lead to artificial general intelligence.

The singularity, which is the point where AI surpasses human intelligence, is expected to occur around 2045, but advancements in AI are happening rapidly.

Daniel's previous work, 'What 2026 Looks Like', accurately predicted AI progress over five years, which gives me optimism about our current scenario.

We've reached a singularity in AI development, where the pace of change is faster than our ability to process it. This rapid evolution means predicting future developments is increasingly difficult.

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.

The singularity is defined as the point when humans become a million times smarter, integrating AI into our very being.

The book 'The Beginning of Infinity' by David Deutsch is recommended for those interested in AI and its future implications.

The public's response to my predictions has been divided: some dismiss them as crazy, others acknowledge the historical analysis but remain pessimistic, while a third group seeks solutions to the challenges posed by AI.
