Dr. Ben Goertzel, a self-described Cosmist and Singularitarian, is one of the world’s leading researchers in artificial general intelligence (AGI), natural language processing, cognitive science, data mining, machine learning, computational finance, bioinformatics, and virtual worlds and gaming He has published a dozen scientific books, 100+ technical papers, and numerous journalistic articles.
The future spend in R&D of billions of dollars on the development and use of key technologies will shape our future, claims Forbes contributor Greg Satell are trends that will drive the future with interfaces that we will not have to touch to interact with.
Project Glass by Google, Kinect by Microsoft and to Siri on Apple devices are just the tip of the ice berge into the future as we will not have to touch or in some cases not even have to speak to these devices as they adapt to control our incoming information flows and computing relationships. Within ten years it is predicted that interfaces will simply appear and drive our computing interactions in a more ubiquitous human way appearing to be instantaneously acting on our wishes, wants and desires as they get to know us.
When our homes, cars and nearly all devices and appliances we use are connected to the web our time spent managing these will be reduced so we can enjoy our families and work and leisure without interruption. The two way communication of our devices without our involvement will be exploding with ultra low power chips that will even be able to harvest energy.
“IBM to Google to Microsoft are racing to combine natural language processing with huge Big Data systems in the cloud that we can access from anywhere, (Forbes: Greg Satell).”
In February of 2012 the first Global Future 2045 Congress was held in Moscow. There, over 50 world leading scientists from multiple disciplines met to develop a strategy for the future development of humankind. One of the main goals of the Congress was to construct a global network of scientists to further research on the development of cybernetic technology, with the ultimate goal of transferring a human’s individual consciousness to an artificial carrier.
2012-2013. The global economic and social crises are exacerbated. The debates on the global paradigm of future development intensifies.
New transhumanist movements and parties emerge. Russia 2045 transforms into World 2045.
Simultaneously, the 2045.com international social network for open innovation is expanding. Here anyone interested may propose a project, take part in working on it, or fund it, or both. In the network, there are scientists, scholars, researchers, financiers and managers.
2013-2014. New centers working on cybernetic technologies for the development of radical life extension rise. The ‘race for immortality’ starts.
2015-2020. The Avatar is created — A robotic human copy controlled by thought via ‘brain-computer’ interface. It becomes as popular as a car.
2020. In Russia and in the world appear — in testing mode — several breakthrough projects:
Android robots replace people in manufacturing tasks; android robot servants for every home; thought-controlled Avatars to provide telepresence in any place of the world and abolish the need business trips; flying cars; thought driven mobile communications built into the body or sprayed onto the skin.
2020-2025. An autonomous system providing life support for the brain and allowing it interaction with the environment is created. The brain is transplanted into an Avatar B. With Avatar B man receives new, expanded life.
2025. The new generation of Avatars provides complete transmission of sensations from all five sensory robot organs to the operator.
2030-2035. ReBrain — The colossal project of brain reverse engineering is implemented. World science comes very close to understanding the principles of consciousness.
2035. The first successful attempt to transfer one’s personality to an alternative carrier. The epoch of cybernetic immortality begins.
2040-2050. Bodies made of nanorobots that can take any shape arise alongside hologram bodies.
2045-2050. Drastic changes in social structure, and in scientific and technological development. All the for space expansion are established.
For the man of the future, war and violence are unacceptable. The main priority of his development is spiritual self-improvement.
Preparing for an economic collapse claims Glenn Beck is doing just that warning his viewers of impending events to come. After earning $2 Million from FOX News for a 2-year contract and getting discharged to now a year later earning nearly $27 Million a year at GBTV providing internet broadcasts, reports the WSJ another FOX property.
Renowned author, scientist, inventor, and futurist Ray Kurzweil makes incredible predictions about the future of technology and the mind-blowing impact it will have on humanity.
Moore’s law is a rule of thumb in the history of computing hardware whereby the number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years.
IBM Research – Almaden physicist Andreas Heinrich explains the industry-wide need to examine the future of storage at the atomic scale and how he and his teammates started with 1 atom and a scanning tunneling microscope and eventually succeeded in storing one bit of magnetic information reliably in 12 atoms.
