“AI will pass a valid Turing test, achieving human-level intelligence, by 2029.”
Conversational tests are increasingly passed, but Kurzweil's own definition requires expert-level performance across the full range of human cognition.
“People should stop training radiologists now. It's just completely obvious that within five years deep learning is going to do better than radiologists.”
By 2021 AI had become a useful assistive tool in radiology, but radiologist demand grew — the US faced a radiologist shortage. Hinton later acknowledged the timeline was wrong.
“Tesla will have one million robotaxis on the road next year (2020).”
Zero Tesla robotaxis operated in 2020. Tesla's first limited, supervised robotaxi pilot did not launch until 2025 — with a small fleet, not a million.
“Powerful AI — smarter than a Nobel Prize winner across most relevant fields — could come as early as 2026.”
Framed explicitly as an 'as early as' estimate, not a commitment.
