Can't read the whole thing unless you subscribe to WSJ. Here is Kurzweil talking with Bloomberg about artificial intelligence and the future if you're interested

Thanks for that.
I have to wonder why he didn't say 2030. 2029 seems oddly specific. Personally, I think it will come sooner than that. If I had to guess, I'd say 13 years, or 2025. Natural language processing is finally hitting its stride, and when you couple that with something like IBM's Watson, you are about 2/3 the way there. The rest can probably be achieved with extremely clever imitation of human behavior.
