- Artificial intelligence has progressed to the point where computers' reasoning powers should be indistinguishable from human brains by 2029, tech inventor Ray Kurzweil said Monday in an onstage interview with The Wall Street Journal's Alan Murray.
Can't read the whole thing unless you subscribe to WSJ. Here is Kurzweil talking with Bloomberg about artificial intelligence and the future if you're interested

Thanks for that.
I have to wonder why he didn't say 2030. 2029 seems oddly specific. Personally, I think it will come sooner than that. If I had to guess, I'd say 13 years, or 2025. Natural language processing is finally hitting its stride, and when you couple that with something like IBM's Watson, you are about 2/3 the way there. The rest can probably be achieved with extremely clever imitation of human behavior.
