Quoting Ray Kurzweil, India President A.P.J. Adbul Kalam said that it was predicted that by 2019, the computational ability of an ordinary PC would exceed the capability of human brain.

However, he said, the creativity of the human mind will always be superior to the most powerful computers in the horizon. “Creativity comes from beautiful minds,” he added.

He also proposed creation of a world knowledge platform that would connect all R&D institutes in the country with those abroad, “part of the worldwide grid ecosystem.”
