Raymond Kurzweil, an American futurist, predicted that humans would reach immortality within eight years. 86% of his previous 147 predictions were correct. daily mail.
As the futurist explained, achieving immortality will be possible when artificial intelligence passes the Turing test in 2029 and thus reaches the level of human intelligence. The Turing test is a test of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior that is equivalent to or indistinguishable from human behavior.
This will lead to accelerated progress and the creation of nanorobots that can heal and restore humans at the cellular level as they age.
Kurzweil also predicted that by 2045, humanity would reach a singularity where human intelligence would merge with artificial intelligence by a billion fold.
In 1990, Kurzweil predicted that in 2000 the best chess player in the world would lose to a computer, and that was in 1997 when Deep Blue defeated Garry Kasparov (known in Russia as a foreign agent).
