Futurologist, biohacker, writer and inventor of text recognition and language synthesis systems, one of the directors of Google, Ray Kurzweil, who is also called the “chief engineer of the 20th century” made many predictions for the future.
This information was reported by T4, reports ” URA-Inform”.
Of these, as accurately calculated, 68% have already come true (by the way, including even the appearance of the iPhone). And now, it seems, another thing is coming true – and not a rosy one.
On June 19, 2024, there was a global failure of all Microsoft systems. A wave instantly swept across the world: millions of companies, from banks to factories, began to work. Planes cannot take off from airports on time, cellular communications and the Internet fail, communications with satellites are lost.
And Kurzweil talked about this in one of his last books called “The Future Revealed.” Ray made a number of alarming predictions for the coming years that sent scary signals about the world of technology.
< p>«Just one failure can lead to disasters throughout the planet,», he said.
And he predicted that we will see this already in 2024. What will happen next? The futurist warns of the potential dangers of uncontrolled technological progress: the origins of data that still occur regularly, insufficient cybersecurity and the development of technologies for tracking people. The expert says that without proper regulation and control, technology will be used to manipulate and control people on a colossal scale.
In addition, the “technology prophet” predicted (and we are also seeing) the inevitable rise of artificial intelligence (AI) ) as a dominant force in the industry. According to Ray, AI will not only change the way we interact with technology, but will also impact the job market as many traditional jobs will be replaced by machines.
People will remain unemployed as jobs are gradually taken away. Process automation will also give computers access to all areas of human life. Technologies are blurring the line between reality and the virtual world, which leads to a new era of human understanding of oneself.
Recall that it was previously reported when men and women reach true maturity: a study by scientists.
