From 2045, people will be able to live forever

Immortality has been a dream of people since time immemorial. Humanity’s fascination with its searches is reflected in scientific works, mythology and folklore, which relate at least to ancient Egypt. Some sought the secrets of immortality in the mythical Fountain of Youth. Others sought answers by studying the magical principles of alchemy.

In the 21st century, science has become a new religion for many, including people who want to gain immortality. Now the proposed solutions to the problem are based on advanced technologies and artificial intelligence, as well as on the belief that consciousness can somehow be "downloaded" to a computer or other digital device.

Scientific research in this area is ongoing and no final answers have been found. But one Russian billionaire is so convinced that immortality is inevitable that he created and finances his own organization, striving to make science fiction a reality.

This billionaire’s name is Dmitry Itskov, and his organization is called the 2045 Initiative.

He gathered a group of scientists, including specialists in the field of robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and the neurocomputer interface. The team is working on the creation of an international research center that will focus on anthropomorphic robotics, transhumanism, cybernetics and modeling of living systems. Scientists believe that resourceful consciousness can and will someday be connected to machines, the infrastructure of the brain can be displayed and recreated in a digital environment. Itskov and his supporters are convinced of the inevitability of such a development of events.

"For the next 30 years, I’m going to make us live forever, he said in 2016. - I’m 100 percent sure that this will happen. ".
According to the project, cybernetic immortality will occur in four stages:

First, software will be developed that allows the human brain to interact with a robot avatar. Thanks to the power of the mind of its controller, the robot will be directed to perform various actions. For an ignorant observer, it will look as if the commanding brain is really in the head of the robot.

Once this step is completed, the next milestone will be the invention of a robot avatar that can receive signals from the transplanted human brain and be directly controlled by it (like Frankenstein’s monster, but without riot and destruction). Scientists suggest that they will achieve this by 2025.

By 2035, it should be possible to control a robot with an artificial brain, modeled by analogy with the human. This brain will be captured with an existing human personality, from a person whose models of thinking, action, feeling and being have been mathematically deciphered.

Then, if everything goes according to plan, the final milestone will be reached in 2045. At this time, fully decrypted human personalities will be programmed into a computer. They will be perfect copies or digital clones.

Then a hologram will be generated, which can function as a means of transportation of a person, and this hologram will be fully capable of taking any shape, size or appearance.

As an alternative, nanobots will also be invented that can be programmed to create custom bodies, which will allow a computer-encoded conscious "being" to take on a better physical shape whenever it wants. At each of the last three stages, the brain, personality, or consciousness used as a model will belong to the person whose life is coming to an end.

A future immortal society must be built on five principles of an enlightened life:

High spirituality
High culture
High ethics
High science
High tech

According to the plan of scientists, they will allow humanity to become not only immortal, but also more wise, creative, free, to reveal all its unlimited potential. Many consider them eccentric romantics, but some of the assumptions have already come true. In the United States, they developed a tiny unmanned helicopter, which a pilot person can fully control using the brain-computer interface. This fusion of man and machine represents a significant scientific breakthrough.
