Russian scientist claims that we will have human “immortality” by 2045
Russian scientist Dmitry Itskov claims that by 2045, human beings will have achieved immortality. Of a sort. Not that your physical, imperfect flesh bag of a body will live forever, but that by 2045, we’ll be able to transplant your personality, thoughts, memories and everything into an artificial brain in a holographic body.
The man behind the 2045 Initiative, described as a nonprofit organization, is a Russian named Dmitry Itskov. The ambitious timeline he’s laid out involves creating different avatars. First a robotic copy that’s controlled remotely through a brain interface. Then one in which a human brain can be transplanted at the end of life. The next could house an artificial human brain, and finally we’d have holographic avatars containing our intelligence much like the movie “Surrogates.”
The project’s ultimate goal is to save people from suffering and death. While there are smart experts involved, that’s no guarantee that human immortality is even a goal worth pursuing. Anyone caught up in the vampire mania that’s punctured popular culture has pondered whether, given a choice, you’d actually want to live forever.
