Content[edit]

In an interview with societyforscience and ScienceNews, Kurzweil said that the book will contain a chapter "that shows ...how dramatically every aspect of human life has improved over the decades and over the centuries".[5][6]


Kurzweil only mentions OpenAI twice, suggesting he sees it as a blip in the larger story of human history.


He explained, "Some people find this frightening. But [The Singularity] is going to be beautiful and will expand our consciousness in ways we can barely imagine, like a person who is deaf hearing the most exquisite symphony for the first time."[1]

Development[edit]

The book was initially scheduled to be released in 2021, but was delayed until 2022,[7][8] and then 2024.
