Here’s the trailer for an upcoming indie documentary on inventor and luminary Ray Kurzweil. Kurzweil is well known for his involvement in artificial intelligence development, as well as his prediction of the ‘Singularity,’ which refers a hypothetical future benchmark during which the rate technological change outpaces human ability to comprehend the changes.
