Even if one accepts Kurzweil's predictions, the availability of
brilliant
artificial intelligence says nothing about whether humans will have
the wisdom
of avail themselves of such knowledge.
Human faults will remain undiminished. In 25 years, we will still be
making the
same mistakes.

I'm sorry, but baloney is still baloney, because Moore's law doesn't
increase the quality and complexity of our software. We'd see
something coming on supercomputers or grids. Alternative views about
the next 50 years are in the current issue of IEEE Intelligent Systems,

"The advent of strong AI (exceeding human intelligence) is the
most important transformation this century will see, and it will
happen within 25 years, says Ray Kurzweil, who will present this
paper at The Dartmouth Artificial Intelligence Conference: The
next 50 years (AI@50) on July 14, 2006."
