It used to be that the singularity according to Kurzweil was going to happen in the 2040s. He has moved that up by a decade recently to the 2030’s. According to wikipedia

Kurzweil describes his law of accelerating returns which predicts an exponential increase in technologies like computers, genetics, nanotechnology, robotics and artificial intelligence. Once the singularity has been reached, Kurzweil says that machine intelligence will be infinitely more powerful than all human intelligence combined. He predicts intelligence will then radiate outward from the planet until it saturates the universe. The singularity is also the point at which machines’ intelligence and humans would merge; Kurzweil predicts this date: “I set the date for the Singularity—representing a profound and disruptive transformation in human capability—as 2045
