Kurzweil: By 2030, Nanobots Will Flow Throughout Our Bodies – Futurism

In Brief Futurist Dave Evans shares his thoughts about the future of human-machine interaction. In an interview with James Bedsole, Evans explained what the thought of Ray Kurzweil's prediction of nanobots in the body by 2030.

Ray Kurzweil, Googles director of engineering, is a well-known futurist who seems to have a penchant for accurate predictions. Most recently, he has again reiterated his prediction that the so-called technological singularity will happen by 2045. For Kurzweil, this doesnt translate to an end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it scenario courtesy of artificially intelligent (AI) machines. Rather, it means human beings will become powered by machines.

Kurzweil believes that, as part of this human-machine melding, nanobots will inhabit our bodies by the 2030s. While flowing through our arteries, thesemicroscopic robots would keep us healthy and transmit our brains onto the cloud.

Another futurist, Dave Evans, founder and CTO of Silicon Valley stealth startup Stringify, gave his thoughts about Kurzweils nanobot idea in an interview with James Bedsole on February.

Evans explained that he thinks such a merging of technology and biology isnt at all farfetched. In fact, he described three stages as to how this will occur: the wearable phase (where we are today), the embeddable phase (where were headed, with neural implants and such), and the replaceable phase.

Does Evans agree with Kurzweils idea of nanobots flowing inside our bodies? Check out the rest of his answer in the video embedded here.
