Humans to achieve immorality by 2030 with the help of Nanorobots, claims Google’s former Scientist
Google’s former Scientist, Ray Kurzweil has recently made a startling prediction that humans will achieve immortality by 2030 with the help of Nanorobots. He claimed in a YouTube video posted by Adagio, a tech vlogger. Nearly 86% of his 147 predictions have proven to be accurate.
Nanorobots are 50-100 nm wide robots that are currently being used in research as DNA probes, cell imaging materials, and cell-specific delivery vehicles. Kurzweil believes that with current technological advancements and expansions in genetics, robotics, and nanotechnology, “we’ll soon have nanorobots running through our veins.” Kurzweil predicted in his 2005 book, ‘The Singularity Is Near,’ that technology would allow humans to achieve everlasting life by 2030. He believes that by 2029, Artificial Intelligence will have attained human-level intelligence by passing a valid Turing test.
Ray Kurzweil is a 75-year-old computer scientist who is a public advocate for the futurist and transhumanist movements, as well as the author of books on health, artificial intelligence, and futurism. He has a track record of making accurate predictions, such as the ability of consumers to design their clothes with precise measurements and style requirements from their home computers by 1999 and the world’s best chess player losing to a computer by 2000. Kurzweil also believes that by 2045, humans will have merged with artificial Intelligence, multiplying effective intelligence by a blindfold. He was awarded the National Medal of Technology in 1999. Kurzweil believes that with current technological advancements and expansions in genetics, robotics, and nanotechnology, “we’ll soon have nanobots running through our veins.” Kurzweil’s comments sparked a debate on social media about immortality and whether or not humans will ever achieve it. Kurzweil believes that nanorobots will also aid in the prevention of aging and illness, as well as the cellular repair of human bodies. He also claims that nanotechnology will enable people to eat whatever they want while remaining thin and energetic.
