A Russian entrepreneur who heads a hi-tech
research project called ’Avatar’ has
contacted billionaires to offer them
immortality. Dmitry Itskov claims he will
personally oversee their immortality process,
in exchange for an undisclosed fee.
Itskov, a media entrepreneur, claims to have
hired 30 scientists to reach this goal - and
aims to transplant a human brain into a
robot body within 10 years. ’You have the
ability to finance the extension of your own
life up to immortality. Our civilization has
come very close to the creation of such
technologies: it’s not a science fiction
fantasy. It is in your power to make sure that
this goal will be achieved in your lifetime,’
says Itskov in a letter delivered to billionaires
listed in Forbes magazine.
He has contacted a list of billionaires with a
proposal for funding his quest for
immortality - which Itskov refers to as
’cybernetic immortality’ and the ’artificial
body’. The initiative is opening its
San Francisco office this summer, and will be
launching a social media project connecting
scientists around the world.
The 2045 team is working towards creating
an international research center where
leading scientists will be engaged in
research and development in the fields of
anthropomorphic robotics, living systems
modeling and brain and consciousness
modeling with the goal of transferring one’s
individual consciousness to an artificial
carrier and achieving cybernetic immortality,’
says Itskov’s official site.
