TECH: Russian Billionaire Dmitry Itskov to make humans immortal by 2045

A Russian billionaire has unveiled plans to make humans immortal by
converting them intolerance 'Terminator-style' cyborgs - a creature
that's part human and part machine - within the next three decades.
Thirty two-year-old mogul, Dmitry Itskov has been pushing the project
forward since 2011 when he founded the 2045 Initiative.
His ultimate goal is to transfer a person's mind or consciousness from
a living brain into a machine with that its personality and memories
intact, according to website Digital Trends.
The so called 'Cyborg' will have no physical form, and exist in a
network similar to the Internet and be able to travel at the speed of
light all over the Earth, or even into the space.
Itskov's first highly ambitious goal, called Avatar A, involves a
person controlling a robotic human replica through a brain-machine
interface (BMI), a technology that already exists.
The deadline for this first stage is set for 2020, 'The Mashable' reported.
The Avatar B, due in 2025, would involve transplanting a human brain
into an artificial body "at the end of one's life."
Next in line is the Avatar C, that rolls around in 2035, that would
also involve a human-machine brain transplant, but with all
personality intact.
Itskov hopes the Initiative will have learned enough about the human
mind to free it completely from physical form finally, by 2045.
According to the report, from the Internet-like hive mind, individual
personalities could manifest themselves as holograms when they need to
interact with their environment.
"We believe that it is possible and necessary to eliminate ageing and
even death, and to overcome the fundamental limits of the physical and
mental capabilities currently set by the restrictions of the physical
body," the project website says.
Itskov is recruiting scientists and authoring an open letter to the UN
secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, asking him to support to push society's
transition to"neo-humanity."
