The futurologist believes that, given the current and potential growth of technologies in genetics, robotics
Nanobots are tiny robots50–100 nm, which perform tasks in the field of clinical medicine. They are used for research as DNA probes, as cell imaging materials, and as delivery vehicles for cell-specific drugs.
Kurzweil believes that nanorobots are the futuremedicine. They will be able to restore bodies at the cellular level, making people immune to disease and aging, and ultimately to death. The futurist also believes that people will be able to upload their consciousness into digital form, achieving immortality.
“We increased life expectancyover thousands of years. This was even 19,000 years ago. In 10-15 years (by 2025 or 2030) we will come to a point where we will add more time than we have now to our remaining life expectancy. People say, “Oh, I don’t want to live to be 90.” But you know, I've talked to 90-year-olds, and they definitely want to live to 91, and then 100,” Kurzweil told PBS News in 2016.
Ray Kurzweil is famous for what he didpredictions that actually came true. In 1990, he said that by the year 2000 a computer would beat a human at chess, and also predicted the development of the Internet and the transition to wireless technologies. But his most famous prediction, about which he even wrote a book, is that we will reach the singularity by 2045. Then machine intelligence will become the same as human intelligence, or even surpass it.
