Brains of the future will be man machine hybrid

Humans will be able to boost their brain power with artificial intelligence by the late 2030s, an expert has claimed.
Ray Kurzweil, director of engineering at Google, and one of the foremost thinkers on artificial intelligence (AI) has said that in the future the human brain will connect to online AI to become a "hybrid of biological and non-biological thinking."
"Tiny 'nanobots' made from DNA strands would connect our brains to the internet, allowing us to augment our own intelligence with artificial intelligence," he said.
In the late 2030s or early 2040s, after the power of artificial intelligence has surpassed that of our own, our hybrid thinking will be predominantly non- biological, he said.

"We're going to gradually merge and enhance ourselves," Kurzweil said.
Kurzweil said that we might also be able to back up the information in our brains to be saved online, 'The Times' reported.

Kurzweil said that artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence in 2029 at a point known as the "singularity".
However, he believes that a superintelligent being would be subservient to the needs of humans because it would have been created by mankind.
A number of leading scientific figures including physicist Stephen Hawking have warned that thinking machines may pose a threat to human existence.
Last year, Hawking said that the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.
