Google engineering director: Humans will see the possibility of eternal life in 2029.

Introduction: Over the past 30 years, Ray Kurzweil's predictions for the future have been more than 86% accurate.
with the help of technology, humans will live forever in 2045, a tipping point around 2029.
technology helps humans become smarter, Says Kurzwell, our brains have limited capacity, at least a million times slower than computing electrons.
part of the brain that controls thinking is called the cerebral cortical layer.
2030 or so, we will be able to use nanobots to enter the brain in a harmless way through capillaries and connect our cerebral cortical layer to the cloud.
, we will have created deeper forms of communication, deeper music and more interesting jokes than we know today.
we're going to be more fun, sexier, and better at expressing love.
Kuzwell compared the change to human evolution, just as our ancestors developed the use of the forehead cort matter 2 million years ago.
he thinks the benefits will be huge.
, which helps people become healthier, says we are beginning to reinvent outdated "life software", the 23,000 "small programs" in the human body called genes.
reprogramming, we will help protect people from disease and aging.
2020 or so, we will start using nanobots to take over the immune system.
2030, nanobots in the blood will be able to destroy pathogens, remove debris, blood clots and tumors, correct DNA errors and even reverse the aging process.
that the Singularity is absolutely there, and that with the help of technology, humanity will live forever.
believes that humanity will live forever in 2045.
he speculates that the creativity of non-biological intelligence will peak that year, more than a billion times the total of all human intelligence today.
but before 2045, Kurzwell thought we could start the "journey to the dead."
think we're going to reach a tipping point around 2029," Said Mr. Kurzwell.
medical technology will increase life expectancy by one year.
then life expectancy will no longer be calculated based on your date of birth, and we will have extended our life expectancy even longer than we have already spent.
, technology helps change the future of sex, says That in the future, people will not only be able to have remote sex in different places, you can even change the identity of yourself and your partner.
in virtual reality space, you don't have to continue to use the same body as the real world.
, for example, couples can interchange their bodies and experience sex from each other's perspectives.
you can also show your partner a more idealistic self, and he or she may adapt to the way you want it to be.
if you're tired of your partner, you can turn it into someone else, and of course you can change yourself.
4, Kuzwell's two theories, Kuzwell points out that there are two major advances that could support his future argument.
first is the speed of technological progress, and the Android phone he is using is getting smaller and more powerful, much cheaper than the $11 million computer he used at MIT in the 1960s.
and over time, technological advances will make mobile phones smaller, stronger, and cheaper.
second, the Jocelyn Diabetes Center in Connecticut is using biotechnology to turn off fatty insulin-in-the-body genes in animals, allowing them to eat more food without developing diabetes or gaining weight.
of biotechnology in humans, we can abandon older genes that have been out of use for thousands of years and dramatically extend life expectancy.
not yet been able to prove whether Kurzwell's prediction would be fulfilled, but he never wanted to die before the sing an "sing".
kuzwell followed a strict diet and hoped to live to 2045 so he could live on.
are the details below.
: Humans will see the possibility of eternal life in 2029 He has invented blind readers, music synths and speech recognition systems, known as "Edison's Orthodox Successors."
has received nine honorary doctorates, two presidential honors, and has been nominated by MIT as "the outstanding inventor of the year" and is currently president of Singist University in the United States.
his prophetic ability to make the world remember his name.
over the past 30 years, Ray Kurzweil's predictions for the future have been more than 86% accurate.
1990, he predicted that "computers would beat chess champions in 1998" and in 1997 IBM's Dark Blue defeated Gary Kasparov.
1999, he predicted that in a decade's time, people would be able to command computers in language.
2005, he predicted that by the 2010s, virtual solutions would be able to provide real-time language translations, foreign languages that could be translated into your native language in real time and presented in subtitles on your glasses.
now, his comments have been confirmed by one item.
Gates once said: "Ray is the best person I know in predicting artificial intelligence.
one of Kurzwell's most famous personal achievements is called "Kurzwell's Law" (also known as the Law of Accelerated Cycles).
is that the power of technology is expanding exponentially.
humanity is on the verge of accelerating change, more than at any point in our history.
he said, more extremes will emerge than we thought.
Q: You said that in the not too distant future, nanobots will live in our blood vessels, our brains will upload data to the cloud, and humans will live forever.
that sounds scary.
when it comes to the future of technology, especially artificial intelligence, people tend to think of the usual utopian movie model in Hollywood: humans fighting machines.
and my view is that humans will use these tools, just as we use all other tools, to expand our borders.
so about the future of science and technology, we will expand the most important attribute we have, that is, human intelligence.
ability to develop information technology is multiplied every year.
at the same time, the price of the same feature is halving every year.
these are the manifestations of what I call the "law of accelerated return."
that's why we can spend half the money on an iPhone or Android phone that's twice as good as it was two years ago.
When I was a student at MIT in 1965, I used an $11 million IBM 7094 computer, and today my smartphone is thousands of times more powerful and hundreds of thousands of times cheaper than that one.
't the funniest part of the phone yet.
If I want 10,000 times the computing and communication power, that is, if I need access to 10,000 computers, I can easily do that in the cloud -- it happens all the time.
we don't even know.
when you sit quietly in a corner of the park, performing a complex language translation, a complex search, or many other types of tasks, you'll be connected to thousands of computers.
in the coming decades, we will integrate with these tools to make ourselves smarter.
Q: Are humans evolving into iPhones?We are integrating with these non-biotechs.
we're already on that path.
I mean, I put this tiny Android phone on my belt, and although it's not in my physical body, it's just a human distinction."
it's become a part of me -- not just the phone itself, but also its connection to the cloud and everything I can access in the cloud.
Q: Isn't nature giving us enough?The human brain has limited capacity, at least a million times slower than electronic computing devices.
in our brain, the part used for thinking is called the neo cortique.
is a very thin structure around the brain that appeared with mammals (both rodents at the time) about 200 million years ago.
major innovation came two million years ago, when apes evolved and had large foreheads.
you look at other primates whose foreheads are tilted.
they have no forehead corties.
This extra new cortical is used by us to add a higher level of abstraction, which gives us the ability to invent, we first invented language, but also invented humor, music and so on.
no other animal can beat.
no other animal can tell a joke.
Q: So connecting the brain to the machine will make us smarter exponentially and make us more attractive?That's exactly what it is.
By the 1930s, nanobots will be able to enter our brains without trauma through capillaries, connecting to our new corties and essentially connecting them to the artificial new corties that operate in the same way in the cloud.
so, we have an extra layer of new corticals, just as we evolved an extra new cortical 2 million years ago, and we add more layers of abstraction, just like we did with the forehead cortical.
we're going to create a deeper form of communication, we're going to create deeper music and more funny jokes.
we're going to be more funny and sexy.
we will also be able to express our love more freely.
Q: How do these technologies make us live longer?Let's start with genetics, what is now called biotechnology.
it has begun to revolutionized clinical medicine, and in the next decade or two it will revolutionized medicine.
we are beginning to reprogram outdated life software, the 23,000 small programs in our bodies called genes.
we're recalcuiting our genes to keep them away from disease and away from aging.
someone who suffers from a terminal condition called pulmonary hypertension because of a lack of a gene, one of the companies we worked with could add that missing gene to such patients, a treatment that has been successful in human trials.
we can remove genes.
we can change stem cells to achieve the desired effect, for example, when some heart patients have a heart damage (as is the case in half of heart attack patients), re-re-re-energy of their hearts."
I mean, today, medicine has become an information technology that follows the same rules of acceleration and progress as any other field of technology.
soon, we will be able to reshape the activity of all tissues and organs in the body and develop drugs that directly lock down the metabolic processes behind a disease without the need for tentative treatments.
and nanotechnology is a real field that transcends biology.
Q: So, as long as we stick to it for another 13 years, we can basically live forever?I believe that by 2029, we will have reached a tipping point where medical technology will increase our life expectancy by one year.
life expectancy here is not the life expectancy of life, but the rest of life expectancy.
Q: So, don't we have to re-watch Friends many times?
't people get bored?Burnout is definitely one of the challenges.
we do the same thing for thousands of years, life is bound to be boring.
this should not happen unless we greatly expand the length of life, but not the width of life.
So we're going to make ourselves smarter, as we're already doing, and as we blend directly with this technology and expand our thinking into the cloud, we're going to add more layers of abstraction to our thinking.
the 1930s, you and I might be sitting face-to-face like this - and there's even technology that lets us touch each other.
Today, the technology isn't realistic enough, but by the mid-2020s, when we have retinal devices that can send images directly to the retina, similar eardrum devices, and other sensors that stimulate touch, you and I can be in different places, but it's like sitting face-to-face at a table in the Taj Mahal, or walking side by side on a virtual Mediterranean beach, and feeling the wet, warm wind blowing through our faces.
Q: What will the future of sex look like in your heart?Not only can people have long-distance sex, but they can also change themselves and their partners.
virtual reality, you don't have to be in a real shell.
, for example, a couple can swap bodies and experience the relationship from the other person's perspective.
you can also transfer a better version of yourself to your lover, or she can change your appearance according to her expectations.
we have, to some extent, distinguished the biological function of sex from the function of communication, lust and entertainment.
you can have sex without having children, and you can even have children without having children.
in virtual reality, we will have more room to explore.
