Mr Kurzweil has made some accurate predictions in the past, including forecasting that a computer would beat humans in chess by 2000.
Ray Kurzweil, a former Google engineer and noted futurist, predicted that humans would achieve immortality in just seven years with the help of nanorobots.
The 75-year-old computer scientist, who won the National Medal of Technology in 1999 and was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2022, has made this shocking prediction over the past few decades. . His comments resurfaced online in his two-part YouTube series by tech vlogger Adagio.
These videos, which echo the claims made by Mr. Kurzweil in his 2005 book The Singularity Is Near, have amassed thousands of views. He predicted that by 2030 technology will allow humans to attain eternal life. He also said that current advances and advances in the fields of genetics, robotics and nanotechnology will allow nanorobots to flow through our veins in the near future.
According to the New York Post, the former Google engineer previously said, “2029 is the consistent date I predicted that AI would pass the valid [Alan] Turing test and reach human intelligence levels.” I was.
“I have set the date for his 2045 ‘Singularity’. This date will be the fusion of [artificial] intelligence that we are creating to create billions of effective intelligence. We can double that,” he added.
Kurzweil’s comments reappeared in a two-part YouTube series by video blogger Adagio.

With thousands of views, these videos echo the claims Kurzweil made in his 2005 book The Singularity Is Near. He predicted that by 2030 technology will allow humans to attain eternal life. He also said that current advances and expansions in genetics, robotics and nanotechnology will allow nanorobots to pass through our veins in the near future. A former Google engineer previously said, “2029 is the consistent date I predicted that AI will pass a valid [Alan] Turing test and reach human intelligence levels.”
“I have set a date for his 2045 ‘Singularity’. This date is the date that we will create effective intelligence by merging it with the [artificial] intelligence that we are creating.” It can be multiplied by billions,” he added.
Phone. He also claimed that such nanotechnology would allow people to stay lean and fit and eat whatever they wanted. As it may seem to some, many of his earlier claims have come true. By 1999, he predicted, consumers would be able to design their own clothing from their home computers with precise measurements and style requirements. He also said that the world’s best chess player will be beaten by computers by 2000, and that by 2009, people will mainly use his portable computers of various sizes and shapes. I was.
