Preferred term

Raymond Kurzweil  

Definition

  • 1952– Computer Scientist and Futurist Raymond Kurzweil is a scientist whose innovations in human-computer interaction have made him particularly well-qualified as a commentator on how the computers of today will evolve into what he calls the “spiritual” and “intelligent” machines of tomorrow. But his vision of a future in which minds merge with machines has proved controversial, prompting equally controversial calls for high-tech research to be carefully controlled.
