What is the singularity? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson gets some help from futurist, author, and inventor, Ray Kurzweil, to explain our eventual merge with computers. Could a machine pass a Turing test as soon as 2029?
We break down the singularity will look like. What is the Turing test? Will we one day be unable to distinguish been human and machine? Why would people even want to merge with robots? We discuss artificial intelligence and what it means to be conscious. Plus… what are the dangers of AI?

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst When we arrive to 2030, 8 years from now, and given the way tech is developing,how different will be from what we are used to now? Probably, to an outer viewer will seem equal, but for us totally different. Why? Because we should have, by then, extraordinary development on human-machine integration, robotic use, and many other things, one of them being that we will be near than now to the real Singularity, the moment wen a machine passes from having too much knowledge to understand it, and interact with humans. This is also why we are actively researching on the issue of consciousness, moral and ethics defining our humanness, so we can better the predicted AGI understand those moral, ethic values which make us what we are.
