卓越的人类 (2009)

　　TRANSCENDENT MAN chronicles the life and ideas of Ray Kurzweil, an inventor and futurist that presents his bold vision of the Singularity, a point in the near future when technology will be changing so rapidly, that we will have to enhance ourselves with artificial intelligence to keep up. Ray predicts this will be the dawning of a new civilization in which we will no longer be dependent on our physical bodies, we will be trillions of times more intelligent and there will be no clear distinction between human and machine, real reality and virtual reality. Human aging and illness will be reversed; world hunger and poverty will be solved and we will ultimately cure death. Critics accuse Ray of being too optimistic and argue that the dangers of the Singularity far outweigh the benefits, pointing out the apocalyptic implications that once machines achieve consciousness, we may not be able to control them... 　　Technology will accelerate exponentially. Within 25 years, computers will have consciousness. Humans will soon be bionic. These predictions make bestselling author Ray Kurzweil (The Singularity Is Near) a prophetic genius to some, and a &quot;highly sophisticated crackpot&quot; to others. There is no question, however, that he has predicted the future with more accuracy than anyone else in history... 　　Transcendent Man gets inside the mind of the award-winning scientist and A.I. specialist through extensive interviews with Kurzweil himself and revealing conversations with friends and colleagues. The film outlines Kurzweil's theory of singularity-the point when change occurs so rapidly that humans will need to merge with technology to keep up-while also chronicling Kurzweil's history, his myriad accomplishments (including 24 U.S. patents), and his unique vision of the future...<br /> 　　译文(3): 《穿越人》记录了发明家和未来学家雷·库兹韦尔（Ray Kurzweil）的生活和想法，他提出了他对奇点的大胆设想，在不久的将来，技术将发生如此迅速的变化，我们将不得不用人工智能来增强自己，以跟上潮流。雷预测，这将是一个新文明的曙光，在这个文明中，我们将不再依赖我们的身体，我们将变得数万亿倍的智能，人类和机器、真实现实和虚拟现实之间将没有明确的区别。人类衰老和疾病将得到逆转；世界饥饿和贫困将得到解决，我们将最终治愈死亡。批评人士指责雷过于乐观，并认为奇点的危险远远大于好处，指出了启示意义，即一旦机器实现意识，我们可能无法控制它们。。。
