Ray Kurzweil's projections suggest that artificial intelligence (A.I.) will be as smart as humans in the near future. Next generation A.I. systems will be adaptive and self-learning like Deep Mind and Watson. The A.I. world will be largely virtual, and A.I. will help humans process the exponentially growing knowledge that the human brain cannot comprehend on its own. There is a debate around whether A.I. will eventually take over the world as its capabilities continue to grow.
