In a mere 33 years, it will be possible to live forever. All that’s needed is the technology to create holographic human avatars that could house immortal artificial brains.
At least that’s the vision of a 31-year-old Russian media mogul named Dmitry Itskov, who’s calling on the world’s billionaires to chip in the research dollars to make the vision a reality.
While the idea seems impossible to achieve -- and it may very well be – Itskov is quite serious about the plan and has even laid out a timetable for achieving it.
First, his team wants to create a robotic copy of our bodies that's controlled remotely through a brain interface. Itskov hopes that can get done as early as three years from now. According to his projections, it really shouldn’t take longer than 2020.
Next, they want to create an avatar in which to transplant a human brain after its owner comes to the end of his or her life. The next step would do away with the human part and simply create an avatar with an artificial brain. And finally, the avatars would become holograms by 2045.
With the plan fully mapped out, Itskov wrote a letter this week to several billionaires found on Forbes’ Billionaires List.
