I asked the smartest people I know for their tech predictions for the next 20 years (2018 – 2038). What are the breakthroughs we can expect on our countdown to the Singularity? I compiled 50 predictions in a document distributed to my Abundance 360 and Abundance Digital communites. For fun, and context, here’s a dozen of those predictions... Quantum Supremacy Achieved: The first demonstration of a quantum computation that can’t be simulated with classical supercomputers is announced. Flying car operations take off in a dozen cities in the world.

The singularity is the digital nirvana of the 21st century: a moment in time when machines become self-aware, using human-level capabilities at machine speeds to rapidly bootstrap themselves to godlike levels of intelligence -... How you feel about the singularity depends on your perspective - almost like a Rorschach test for futurists. Optimists like Ray Kurzweil, Mark Zuckerberg, and Larry Page see it as the birth of a new utopian future for mankind, while others such as Nick Bostrom, Bill Gates & Elon Musk are deeply... Despite the uncertainties, science & technology continue their march forward - with numerous Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) projects and efforts to reverse engineer the human mind pushing us closer to that day of reckoning. As Marshall Brain has written, “we’re creating a second intelligent species to compete with ourselves” - and while we know little about the potential thoughts, motives, or perhaps feelings that it will have when...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: You don’t exactly become a world-renowned futurist by making safe predictions. And while some of these past predictions haven’t exactly come to pass (Back to the Future Part II, specifically), these ideas help expand our thoughts on what exactly the future might look like.

And no one makes futuristic predictions quite like Ray Kurzweil. An American computer scientist-turned-futurist, Kurzweil has long believed that humanity is headed toward what’s known as “the singularity,” when man and machine merge. In 1999, Kurzweil theorized that artificial general intelligence would be achieved once humanity could achieve a technology capable of a trillion calculations per second, which he pegged to occur in 2029.
