Scientist Sets Date Humans Will Reach ‘Singularity’ – It’s Closer Than You Think

Scientist, inventor and thinker Raymond Kurzweil has spent the last 30 years of his life studying how technology can change our lives. One prediction after another, Ray Kurzweil has always proven accurate. In his latest book, “The Singularity Is Nearer: When We Unite with AI” – this is the second part “The Singularity is Closer”– Kurzweil predicts that by 2045, humanity’s technological development will will reach “singularity”.

Technological singularity is the moment when artificial intelligence It will not only match, but surpass human intelligence. It is not just that a machine can solve a mathematical equation in just a few thousandths of a second. We have already reached this point in technological development several decades ago. Technological singularity will be reached when artificial intelligence can understand and learn autonomously and, above all, reaches the point where it can evolve. without the need for human intervention.

The Ultimate Fusion of Mind and Machine

Another technological vein that has not yet been explored and has caused great optimism in the scientist is nanotechnology. Kurzweil is convinced that nanorobots will be necessary for people to will exceed life expectancy of 120 years. Kurzweil argues that the fusion of biotechnology and artificial intelligence will allow nanotechnology to “overcome the limitations of our biological organs.”

As he explains, our body makes mistakes every time cells multiply, they cause damage. This damage is easily repaired in young bodies, but not so much in older ones. According to Kurzweil’s thesis, the only solution is not to patch up this damage, but to cure aging same. Of all the approaches being explored by the new proponents of eternal life, the most promising, according to Ray Kurzweil, is the use of nanotechnology to treat aging at the cellular level.

According to Kurzweil, medical nanorobots They will be key to this progress. Hundreds of billions of nanorobots equipped with sensors, manipulators, computers, communicators and power sources could be implanted in the human bloodstream and repair and improve degraded organs. Thus, nanorobots will be able to keep the body in good health for an indefinite period, reduce the impact of aging and optimizes the human body.

Human immortality: fantasy or inevitable revolution?

“As soon as nanobots can restore or destroy cells selectively individual“, It is said, “We will completely master our biology and medicine will become the exact science we have long been striving for.”“But Kurzweil is not resting on his laurels. He believes that in the future DNA sequencing It will be fully controllable, and artificial intelligence will be able to recognize signals from the human body to solve problems before they occur.

“When nanotechnology starts to develop, we will be able to produce optimized body at will“It is said. “We will be able to run faster and longer, float and breathe under the ocean like fish, and even get functional wings if we want. “We will think millions of times faster, but most importantly, our survival will not depend on the survival of our body.”

Raymond Kurzweil admits that his predictions about technological singularity and implementation nanotechnology in the human body Today, they may seem impossible. However, he believes there are good reasons to support them. Kurzweil explains that while these ideas may seem futuristic, they are based on trends and technological advances we are already seeing. For example, he notes that many of his previous predictions, such as the exponential growth of the Internet and the rapid development of artificial intelligencecame true, although they seemed unlikely at first. For this reason, what seems like science fiction today may become reality in the not-too-distant future.
