The word “singularity” became a Silicon Valley buzzword, striking fear, hope, and (often) derision into the hearts of millions. In 2012 Kurzweil released How to Create a Mind (Amazon Affiliate Link), focusing on perhaps the most controversial of his many predictions: that we will create artificial, human-equivalent intelligence by the year 2029, capable of passing the Turing test. The book argues that the structure and functioning of the human brain is actually quite simple, a basic unit of cognition repeated millions of times. Therefore, creating an artificial brain will not require simulating the human brain at every level of detail. It will only r
