I do think 2070 may be too pessimistic. The technological growth nowadays is really exponentially fast. Technically, if we consider neural network, one of the machine learning models, the number of neurons may catch up with the number of neurons of human brain (according to some reference, sorry I forgot) in some 10 or 20 years. But of course deep learning doesnt mean intelligent AI robot and i really look forward to it!
