'Transcendent Man' Profiles Ray Kurzweil

Abstract:
Inventor Ray Kurzweil, 61, has received numerous honors for his work in artificial intelligence. Over the past decade, he has focused on sharing his ideas of the future in books like The Age of Spiritual Machines and The Singularity is Near, and in talks he has given around the world. Kurzweil is the subject of a new documentary called Transcendent Man.
Kurzweil is already reprogramming his biochemistry with supplements; he takes about 200 pills a day. He believes advances in genetics, nanotechnology and intelligent robotics - or artificial intelligence - will eventually lead to a race of beings that are part human and part machine, or AIs.
