Astonishing future predictions from one of the world’s greatest scientists

If you’ve ever wondered when robots will become something as common in our homes as a refrigerator, American Raymond Kurzweil says not to guess, but to know the exact year: 2027. But why would he be so sure? Kurzweil is an inventor, futurologist, writer and director of engineering at Google, specializing in the field of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. He is known for his scientific technological predictions, some of which have already come true. For example, he predicted the fall of the Soviet Union, the victory of a computer in a game of chess played against the best player in the world, the emergence of electronic assistants such as Siri and Alice, and augmented virtual reality systems.

In this post, Incrível.club brings some Futurologist’s predictions for the 21st century. It seems that something great really awaits us. What would you do if, one day, you opened the window and saw a scene from a sci-fi movie?

Many things seem hard to believe, but Ray Kurzweil is rarely wrong. In October 2010, he published an article that analyzed how the predictions described in his three books (from 1990, 1999 and 2005) had already come true. Of the 147 predictions, 115 were completely correct, 12 were generally correct, 17 were partially correct and only 3 were incorrect. Thus, the futurologist’s prediction level is 86%.

Humanity will have overcome the diseases that kill about 95% of people in developed countries. Processes linked to aging will be significantly slower, and will begin to reverse.

Computers will continue to shrink in size and begin to lose their usual shapes. They will even be sewn into clothing. There will be a new world government ruling over all humanity.

From the beginning of this decade, “human bodies 2.0”, based on nanotechnology systems, will gradually appear. agencies will deliver aural advertising tailored to each individual. Only the person will be able to hear the propaganda itself.

Military planes and automobiles will be 100% computer-controlled. A new phase of nanotechnology will begin that will help to fully understand how the human brain works.

It will be possible to make an accurate computer simulation of all parts of the human brain. By the end of the decade, an artificial intelligence compared to human will be created.

Artificial intelligence will pass the Turing test, which will confirm your ability to think like a human being. By the end of the decade, virtual reality will be of such high quality that it will be impossible to tell it apart from real reality.

Nanomachines will be widely used in medicine. Nanotechnology-based production will be used so widely that it will radically change the economy. Nanorobots will be able to penetrate cells to “feed” them and eliminate waste: habitual food consumption will become obsolete.

It will be possible to “load” the mind: people will be able to live on the Internet, projecting their bodies wherever and whenever they want in virtual or even real reality. The equipment needed today for immersion in virtual reality will disappear: nanomachines will be implanted in the brain, interacting directly with brain cells. The presence of nanomachines in people’s brains will significantly improve cognitive and sensory abilities, as well as memory.

People will be able to communicate “telepathically” over wireless networks. “Human bodies 3.0” will emerge, which will not have a defined shape. Appearance can be chosen.

Non-biological intelligence will outperform biological intelligence by millions of times.

People will spend most of their time in virtual reality. The “Matrix” of cinema is an example of this kind of super-developed virtual world. Self-organizing nanorobots will be more common, capable of group creation.

People updated and “downloaded” cybernetically will be common at this time.

For a thousand dollars, it will be possible to buy a computer millions of times more “intelligent” than all the people combined.

The technological singularity will begin: artificial intelligence will surpass man, assuming the position of the smartest life on Earth. The singularity will forever change the course of human history. The destruction of humanity by machines is unlikely, as there will be no special differences between man and machine.

The Earth will turn into a giant computer. People who choose to maintain their natural state will live in special reserve areas. Humanity will no longer be limited by the speed of light.

Artificial intelligence will extend beyond the limits of Earth, taking its influence first to the solar system, and then to other galaxies. Stars, planets and meteors will transform into structured matter capable of harboring life. By 2099, machines will be able to build planet-sized computers.

Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? But we need to remember that, as early as 2016, there were already people using robotic arms and the Loading🇧🇷 Leave your comment saying what you think of the predictions of the futurologist who inspired this post.
