Part 6/12:
Drawing on predictions by futurist Ray Kurzweil, McCoy discusses the imminent arrival of the singularity—a point where AI surpasses human intelligence, allowing humans to transcend biological limitations. Kurzweil projects this could happen within the next five years, enabling individuals to upload their consciousness into the cloud and potentially live for centuries.
McCoy recognizes that these ideas often seem like science fiction but reassures her audience that rapid technological breakthroughs in GPT models, quantum computing, energy sources like fusion, and digital innovation make the singularity’s realization become increasingly plausible within our lifetime.
