Ray Kurzweil On The Evolution Of Technology

Ray Kurzweil

Speaking at ideacity in 2008, futurist, Ray Kurzweil discusses the evolution of biotechnology and what it means for human longevity.

The next few decades will be quintessentially important and transformative, and Ray Kurzweil is the expert on why and how. In this video from ideaCity, Kurzweil provides insight on his ideas on the evolution of technology, how he predicts technology will be able to extend human life considerably, and subsequently, the rise of biotechnology (where biology and technology intersect).

Much like TED, ideacity, also known as ‘Canada’s Premier Meeting of the Minds’, is an eclectic gathering of artists, adventurers, authors, cosmologists, doctors, designers, entertainers, filmmakers, inventors, magicians, musicians, scientists and technologists.

	The Story of the Chessboard The classic parable of how the inventor of the game of chess used his knowledge of exponential growth to trick an emperor is commonly used to explain the staggering and accelerating growth of technology. The 33rd square on the chessboards represents the first step into the second half of the chessboard, where exponential growth takes off. 33rd Square explores technological progress in AI, robotics, genomics, neuroscience, nanotechnology, art, design and the future as humanity encroaches on The Singularity.	<a href="http://33rdsquare.wufoo.com/forms/p7x1q3/">Fill out my Wufoo form!</a>
