This AI Prediction was made by Roger Highfield in 2015.
Predicted time for AGI / HLMI / transformative AI:
(Hover for explanation)Types of advanced artificial intelligence: AGI (AI that can perform many tasks at a human-level), HLMI (more advanced AI that surpasses human intelligence in specific areas), and Transformative AI (AI that could significantly impact society and the world)
Within a few decades, it won’t be so easy to tell humans and thinking machines apart as a result of this creeping, organic transhumanism.
Opinion about the Intelligence Explosion from Roger Highfield:

Flycer’s explanation for better understanding:
In the future, it will become increasingly difficult to distinguish between humans and thinking machines due to the rise of organic transhumanism. This trend is expected to continue over the next few decades. As a result, the line between human and machine will become increasingly blurred.
The future of humanity with AGI / HLMI / transformative AI:
Eventually, many of us won’t solely rely on the meat machines in our heads to ponder the prospect of artificial machines that think: the substrate of future thoughts will sit somewhere on a continuum within a rainbow of intelligences, from regular-I to AI.
Flycer’s Secondary Explanation:
In the future, humans will not only rely on their own brains to consider the possibility of artificial intelligence. The substrate of future thoughts will exist on a continuum of intelligences, ranging from regular human intelligence to AI. This means that the concept of AI will become more integrated into human thought processes.
