德米特里•伊茨科夫
Russian billionaire and media mogul Dmitry Itskov made a big splash last year when he created the 2045 Initiative, which brought 30 top Russian scientists on board to create an international research center to study immortality. The 31-year-old president of New Media Stars, a Russian company that runs several online news outlets, has implored other billionaires to start funding "cybernetic immortality and the artificial body." His plan: transfer the human consciousness to a remotely controlled avatar, or a synthetic brain -- what he sees as the next step in human evolution.俄羅斯億萬(wàn)富豪、媒體大亨德米特里•伊茨科夫去年發(fā)起了“2045行動(dòng)”,引起了外界的轟動(dòng)。這個(gè)組織邀請(qǐng)了30位頂尖的俄羅斯科學(xué)家,成立了國(guó)際研究中心對(duì)人類(lèi)永生進(jìn)行研究。31歲的德米特里•伊茨科夫是新傳媒星(New Media Stars)的總裁,這家俄羅斯公司經(jīng)營(yíng)著幾家網(wǎng)絡(luò)新聞媒體。他號(hào)召其他億萬(wàn)富豪開(kāi)始為“控制論的永生和人工軀體”提供資助。他的計(jì)劃是把人類(lèi)意識(shí)轉(zhuǎn)移到遠(yuǎn)程控制的化身,或者說(shuō)合成大腦——他把這個(gè)階段看做人類(lèi)進(jìn)化的下一步。
