The BBC says:
Machines will achieve human-level artificial intelligence by 2029, a leading US inventor has predicted.
Humanity is on the brink of advances that will see tiny robots implanted in people's brains to make them more intelligent, said Ray Kurzweil.
The engineer believes machines and humans will eventually merge through devices implanted in the body to boost intelligence and health.
Kurzweil has been saying this kind of thing for ages, and he doesn't seem to have announced any advance to justify this hype, which has kindly been regurgitated by the BBC without any critical analysis.
