> 2029, both for human-level intelligence and for artificial general intelligence (AGI)
> The Singularity, which is a metaphor borrowed from physics, will occur when we merge our brain with the cloud
> Making it possible will be brain-computer interfaces which ultimately will be nanobots – robots the size of molecules – that will go noninvasively into our brains through the capillaries.
> In the early 2030s we can expect to reach longevity escape velocity where every year of life we lose through ageing we get back from scientific progress.
