Humans are immortal when loading human brains into robots
Billionaire Elon Musk says many things that seem impossible. For example, the CEO of Tesla believes that humans can eventually live forever by loading their brains into robots.
Elon Musk told Insider: “I think it’s possible. Yes, we can download things that we believe make us unique. Of course, now if you’re not in the game anymore. That would make a difference, but in terms of preserving our memories, our personalities, I think we can do it.”
Such technology will evolve, in Musk’s words, from today’s computer memory. He said that people’s memories are stored in phones and computers through pictures and videos. Computers and phones expand our ability to communicate, allowing us to do things we thought were magical. With computers, humans have expanded their brains.
The idea of extending human life by loading consciousness into robots has long appeared in science fiction movies. Some experts today believe that “memory loading” technology may one day be possible. But when that will be done is still very vague.
In a 2019 Wall Street Journal essay, Michael SA Graziano, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Princeton University, wrote that loading the brain would require two technologies.
The first is to create an artificial brain. The second is technology that scans real human brains to accurately replicate neurons without affecting the person. Nor would he be surprised if this technology takes hundreds of years to develop.
Neuralink, one of Elon Musk’s projects, is being worked on to develop a “brain-machine interface” in the words of the billionaire. One day, humans may be able to store memories as a backup and restore memories. But Elon Musk also stressed the company’s current goals are much more realistic.
The CEO of SpaceX said: “Neuralink in the short term is just about dealing with brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and the like. So for many years, Neuralink products will only be useful for people who have suffered. lose the ability to use an arm or leg or suffer a traumatic brain injury.”
It is worth noting that it seems that Elon Musk himself does not want to be immortal. He said: “I don’t think we should try to let people live very long. That would be stifling to society, because the truth is that most people don’t change their minds. So , if we don’t die, we’ll be stuck with old ideas and society won’t move forward.”
