Out June 25, The Singularity is Nearer is a follow-up to 2005's The Singularity is Near, and offers updated data and new guidance on how humans can fully pursue AI without fear.

Literacy rates are up while murder rates are down, democracy is more widespread, and the use of renewable energy is on the rise, according to Kurzweil, who warns against taking anti-AI sentiment too far. “We need to take seriously the misguided and increasingly strident Luddite voices that advocate broad relinquishment of technological progress to avoid the genuine dangers of genetics, nanotechnology, and robots (GNR),” Kurzweil writes in The Singularity is Nearer.
