A Russian billionaire has revealed controversial plans to upload his own brain and become immortal by 2045. 32 year-old Dmitry Itskov believes technology will allow him to live forever in a hologram body. His '2045 initiative' is described as the next step in evolution, and over 20,000 people have signed up on Facebook to follow its progress, with global conferences planned to explore the technology needed.
'We are in the process of creating focus groups of experts,' said Itskov. 'Along with these teams, we will prepare goal statements and research programs schedules.'
The foundation has already planned out its timeline for getting to a fully holographic human, and claims it will be ready to upload a mind into a computer by 2015, a timeline even Itskov says is 'optimistic'.
'The four tracks and their suggested deadlines are optimistic but feasible,' he said of the foundation's site. This is our program for the next 35 years, and we will do our best to complete it. '
The ultimate aim is for a hologram body.
'The fourth development track seems the most futuristic one,' said Itskov.
