The 2045 Initiative is a nonprofit organization that aims to develop technologies enabling the transfer of an individual's personality to a more advanced non-biological carrier, extending human life and potentially achieving immortality. Founded by Russian entrepreneur Dmitry Itskov in 2011, the initiative seeks to create a global movement supporting the development of cybernetic immortality and the realization of a new evolutionary strategy for humanity.

Goals and Vision[edit]

The primary goal of the 2045 Initiative is to create technologies that will allow for the transfer of human consciousness to artificial carriers. This vision is based on the belief that such advancements can lead to the extension of human life, improved quality of life, and the eventual achievement of immortality.

The initiative outlines several key milestones, including the development of avatars, brain-computer interfaces, and artificial intelligence systems capable of supporting human consciousness.

Milestones[edit]

The 2045 Initiative has set forth a roadmap with several key milestones:

Avatar A (2015-2020): Creation of a robotic copy of a human body remotely controlled via brain-computer interface.
Avatar B (2020-2025): Development of an avatar in which a human brain is transplanted at the end of one's life.
Avatar C (2030-2035): Creation of an avatar with an artificial brain in which a human personality is transferred at the end of one's life.
Avatar D (2040-2045): Development of a hologram-like avatar.

Technological Development[edit]

The initiative focuses on several areas of technological development:

Neuroscience: Understanding the human brain and developing methods to map and transfer consciousness.
Robotics: Creating advanced robotic systems that can serve as carriers for human consciousness.
Artificial Intelligence: Developing AI systems capable of supporting and interacting with human consciousness.

Ethical Considerations[edit]

The 2045 Initiative also addresses ethical concerns related to the transfer of consciousness and the potential implications of achieving immortality. These include questions about identity, the nature of consciousness, and the societal impacts of such technologies.
