The Singularity is Near''. Kurzweil argues that machines who pass this test are an inevitable consequence of
Moore's Law
Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years. Moore's law is an observation and projection of a historical trend. Rather than a law of physics, it is an empir ...
