Immortality Is Possible in 2023? Dead Love Ones Can Live Forever by Uploading Consciousness to Computers, Scientist Claims
Living beyond death is reportedly now possible. According to a new report, one can immortalize a dead loved one by uploading their consciousness to the Internet.
Immortality Reportedly Possible This Year
A computer expert has advised that you start recording as much audio and video of your loved ones as you can so that they can become digitally eternal.
By the end of 2023, according to Silicon Valley tech pioneer Dr. Pratik Desai, we will be able to upload the consciousnesses of the deceased to computers, Daily Star reported.
He has advised individuals to begin recording their family members and other close friends as soon as possible since there is a "100% chance that they will live with you forever," in his opinion.
Dr. Desai thinks that given enough data; AI will accelerate the process of achieving digital immortality. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the capacity of a digital computer or computer-driven robot to carry out functions often performed by intelligent beings. The process of creating systems that possess human-like cognitive abilities, such as the capacity to reason, find meaning, generalize, or learn from the past, is usually referred to by this phrase per Britannica.
In a tweet, Desai encouraged the people to start recording their parents, elders, and loved ones because there is a good chance that they can live forever with enough transcript data, new voice synthesis, and video models. He was positive that all of this would be possible in 2023.
His assertions are predicated on the assumption that you could teach an AI to behave exactly like a person by creating exact digital replicas of their likeness.
With the help of technologies like ChatGPT, this might be partly feasible, but it is a difficult problem, especially for grieving people.
Two days later, Desai made a follow-up tweet announcing that he watched the "Black Mirror" episode that some netizens suggested. He understood their concerns about using technology to bring in late loved ones while still grieving. He apologized and said he was not a ghoul and had no intention of making such a product.
Start regularly recording your parents, elders and loved ones. With enough transcript data, new voice synthesis and video models, there is a 100% chance that they will live with you forever after leaving physical body. This should be even possible by end of the year.

Sometimes when you see technology making it possible in your grief process and you think it is possible, you may go out of character and say something without a thinking seriously. I’m not a ghoul not I have desire to make any product like this.

Nanobots For Immortality
In a previous report from Science Times, former Google engineer Ray Kurzweil spoke to the Adagio YouTube channel about robotics, genetics, and nanotechnology. According to him, nanobots can reverse age in the future by making cellular-level body repairs to protect one from aging and disease.
Kurzeil is popular for making bold predictions. In 1999, he predicted that by 2023, a $1,000 laptop would exist that possesses the memory and processing power of the human brain.
His most well-known forecast is that we will arrive at the singularity by 2045. The self-described futurist former Google engineer even published an entire book on it. His theories define singularity as the point at which machine intelligence would be on par with or surpassing that of humans.
Nanobots are already used to deliver drug payloads into brain tumors. Additionally, a new hybrid micro-robot about 10 microns long can identify healthy and dying cells and transport them for genetic analysis, which is useful for medicine, environment, and research tools.
Given AI's expanding and pervasive capabilities, it is tough to rule out this scenario.
