Keynote:The Singularity is Near
summary
Claims that Ray Kurzweil’s Singularity arrives by 2045 and AGI by 2029 are backed here with concrete numbers: an Oxford study saying 47% of US jobs are automatable, expert polls giving ~10% chance of 2020s arrival and ~50% by midcentury, and Japanese engineers who build a world‑top Green500 supercomputer in 7 months and promise exascale in 2020 using many‑core chips. Roadmaps include building hardware with 10^11 cores and trillions of synapse links, plus investment moves by Google, DeepMind and Vicarious.
