Ray Kurzweil is standing by his controversial prediction that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) will be achieved by 2029. A Reddit thread on r/artificial intelligence brought attention to Kurzweil’s persistence, noting that his prediction has faced considerable skepticism and ridicule since he first made it in 1999. Despite the years of criticism, Kurzweil remains steadfast in his belief that AGI is less than six years away.
