ch an enterprise come about? The spark that set iCog Labs in motion occurred when Amara Angelica, the ringleader of KurzweilAl.net and various other Ray Kurzweil initiatives, had the inspiration to introduce two of her friends: Hong Kong based AGI researcher Ben Goertzel, and Ethiopian roboticist and Singula
Getnet Aseffa Gezaw. Amara knew Ben from various futurist conferences in the US, as well as due to Goertzel's ongoing relationship with her employer Kurzweil; she knew Getnet due to corresponding with him via email and video-chat about a variety of futurist topics. Getnet had been giving a series of lect
to anyone interested in living to 500. The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology, published in 2005, is the seminal work by futurist Ray Kurzweil. He famously predicted that in 2045, humankind will have its Terminator moment: The rise of computers will outpace our ability to control them. To
ate us from our own limitations," says Maris, who studied neuroscience at Middlebury College and once worked in a biomedical lab at Duke University. Kurzweil is a friend. Google hired him to help Maris and other Googlers understand a world in which machines surpass human biology. This might be a terrify

In the case of computer power there is no opposing immune system fighting back, so Kurzweil thinks computers will achieve almost limitless processing power; perhaps even within our lifetime. He thinks this will lead to some interesting conse
