A former Google<\/a> engineer has made a stark realization that humans will achieve immortality in eight years – and 86 percent of his 147 predictions have been correct.<\/p>\n

Ray Kurzweil spoke with the YouTube channel Adagio<\/a>, discussing the expansion in genetics, nanotechnology, and robotics, which he believes will lead to age-reversing ‘nanobots.’ <\/p>\n

These tiny robots<\/a> will repair damaged cells and tissues that deteriorate as the body ages and make us immune to diseases like cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The predictions that such a feat is achievable by 2030 have been met with excitement and skepticism, as curing all deadly diseases seems far out of reach.<\/p>\n

Kurzweil was hired by Google in 2012 to ‘work on new projects involving machine learning and language processing,’ but he was making predictions in technological advances long before.<\/p>\n

In 1990, he predicted the world’s best chess player would lose to a computer by 2000, and it happened in 1997 when Deep Blue beat Gary Kasparov.  <\/p>\n

Kurzweil made another startling prediction in 1999: he said that by 2023 a $1,000 laptop would have a human brain’s computing power and storage capacity.<\/p>\n

Now the former Google engineer believes technology is set to become so powerful it will help humans live forever, in what is known as the singularity.<\/p>\n

Singularity is a theoretical point when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence and changes the path of our evolution, LifeBoat <\/a>reports.<\/p>\n

Kurzweil, an author who describes himself as a futurist, predicted that technological singularity would happen by 2045, with AI passing a valid Turing test in 2029.<\/p>\n

It is a test of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human <\/p>\n

He said that machines are already making us more intelligent and connecting them to our neocortex will help people think more smartly. <\/p>\n

Contrary to the fears of some, he believes that implanting computers in our brains will improve us.<\/p>\n

‘We’re going to get more neocortex, we’re going to be funnier, we’re going to be better at music. We’re going to be sexier’, he said.<\/p>\n

‘We’re really going to exemplify all the things that we value in humans to a greater degree.’<\/p>\n

Rather than a vision of the future where machines take over humanity, Kurzweil believes we will create a human-machine synthesis that will make us better.<\/p>\n

The concept of nanomachines being inserted into the human body has been in science fiction for decades.<\/p>\n

In Star Trek, tiny molecular robots called nanites were used to help repair damaged cells in the body.<\/p>\n

More than ten years ago, the US National Science Foundation predicted \u2018network-enhanced telepathy\u2019 \u2013 sending thoughts over the internet \u2013 would be practical by the 2020s.<\/p>\n

‘Ultimately, it will affect everything,’ Kurzweil said.<\/p>\n

‘We’re going to be able to meet the physical needs of all humans. We’re going to expand our minds and exemplify these artistic qualities that we value.’<\/p>\n

The process began centuries ago with simple devices such as eyeglasses and ear trumpets that could dramatically improve human lives.<\/p>\n

Then came better machines, such as hearing aids and devices that could save lives, including pacemakers and dialysis machines.<\/p>\n

By the second decade of the 21st Century, we have become used to organs grown in laboratories, genetic surgery and designer babies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
