Intelligence Evolution

June 22, 2009

There is no such thing as artificial intelligence. There is only intelligence.

You could say there is biological intelligence or nonbiological intelligence. But even that distinction will become blurred in a couple of decades as computers shrink to the size of a red blood cell, increase in speed and computational power hundreds of thousands of times and merge with our biological bodies as futurist Ray Kurzweil predicts in my new film Transcendent Man. As a result of this merger, we will ultimately drop the descriptors like “biological” and “artificial” and understand intelligence for what it really is: the most powerful force in the universe.
