Nanorobots to Make Humans Immortal by 2030: Predicts Ex-Google Scientist

If former Google scientist Ray Kurzweil is to be believed then humans will become immortal with the help of nanorobots in the next seven years.

Kurzweil made the claim in a YouTube video posted by tech vlogger Adagio. The scientist reiterated his claim made in the 2005 book ‘The Singularity Is Near’. In this book, he predicted that technology will allow humans to enjoy immortality by 2030, New York Post reported.

Nanobots or Nanorobots are tiny robots, 50-100 nm wide, currently used in research as DNA probes, cell imaging materials, and cell-specific delivery vehicles.

Kurzweil predicts that nanorobots will help us discard aging and illness, and repair human bodies on a cellular level. He also claims that such nanotechnology will allow people to eat whatever they want while staying thin and energized.

The futurist 75-year-old computer scientist has made several accurate predictions regarding technological advancements in the past. Till now, about 86 per cent of his 147 predictions have been correct. In 1990 he predicted that a computer would beat humans in chess by 2000, the growth of the Internet, and the shift to more wireless technology.
