The futurist Ray Kurzweil looked younger than his age while rocking a new long hairstyle in the recent Joe Rogan Experience podcast, giving hints of wearing a wig. But unfortunately, Ray Kurzweil has not uttered a word about it.
Also, neither Joe Rogan nor Ray Kurzweil felt the urge to talk about his looks as they focused the podcast entirely on AI.
Many who have been following Ray Kurzweil and his work know about his receding hairline. But that was not the case in the recent podcast appearance.
The shiny, long hair of Ray Kurzweil pretty much covered every noticeable receding hairline that once many noticed.
This is not the first time people have been curious about Ray Kurzweil and his never-fading young look. There have been times in the past when many doubted he went under the knife to maintain his youthful look. Further, Ray Kurzweil did appear to have worn a toupee or wig at some events.
Despite such speculation and rumors, Ray Kurzweil has never said anything about it.
And regarding the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Ray Kurzweil does not look like he is wearing a wig. Instead, he seems to have let his natural hair grow long enough to cover his receding hairline.
Apart from the wig topic, Ray Kurzweil is also making headlines internationally, which has already grabbed the attention of Elon Musk.
In the podcast, American futurist Ray Kurzweil made a prediction that AI will achieve human-level intelligence by 2029.
He said, “We’re not quite there, but we will be there, and by 2029 it will match any person. I’m actually considered conservative. People think that will happen next year or the year after. I actually said that in 1999. I said we would match any person by 2029. So 30 years, people thought that was totally crazy.”
In response, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors, tweets, “AI will probably be smarter than any single human next year. By 2029, AI is probably smarter than all humans combined.”
