TRANSCENDENT MAN chronicles the life and ideas of Ray Kurzweil an inventor and futurist that presents his bold vision of the Singularity a point in the near future when technology will be changing so rapidly that we will have to enhance ourselves with artificial intelligence to keep up Ray predicts this will be the dawning of a new civilization in which we will no longer be dependent on our physical bodies we will be trillions of times more intelligent and there will be no clear distinction between human and machine real reality and virtual reality Human aging and illness will be reversed world hunger and poverty will be solved and we will ultimately cure death Critics accuse Ray of being too optimistic and argue that the dangers of the Singularity far outweigh the benefits pointing out the apocalyptic implications that once machines achieve consciousness we may not be able to control them
Technology will accelerate exponentially Within 25 years computers will have consciousness Humans will soon be bionic These predictions make bestselling author Ray Kurzweil The Singularity Is Near a prophetic genius to some and a highly sophisticated crackpot to others There is no question however that he has predicted the future with more accuracy than anyone else in history
Transcendent Man gets inside the mind of the awardwinning scientist and AI specialist through extensive interviews with Kurzweil himself and revealing conversations with friends and colleagues The film outlines Kurzweils theory of singularitythe point when change occurs so rapidly that humans will need to merge with technology to keep upwhile also chronicling Kurzweils history his myriad accomplishments including 24 US patents and his unique vision of the future
