AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND ONE OF TIME’S 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, this book by a noted inventor and futurist explores how technology will transform humanity in the coming decades. Since its initial publication in 2005, the author’s vision of an exponential future has sparked a global movement, with many of his predictions about technological advancements, such as AI and biotechnology, now commonplace. In this new work, he reassesses his 1999 prediction that AI will achieve human-level intelligence by 2029 and examines the exponential growth of technology, which may amplify human intelligence a millionfold and forever alter life. Key topics include rebuilding the world atom by atom with nanobots, radical life extension beyond 120 years, and connecting our brains to the cloud to reinvent intelligence. He highlights how exponential technologies are driving innovation across industries while improving well-being, reducing poverty and violence, and advancing renewable energy and 3-D printing. The author also addresses potential dangers of biotechnology, nanotechnology, and AI, discussing their implications for employment, autonomous vehicle safety, and "After Life" technology aimed at virtually reviving the deceased. This work represents the culmination of six decades of research in artificial intelligence and stands as a significant contribution to the narrative of this evolving science
