Immortality through technology: how far research and AI have really come

Digital immortality

Ever since humans have existed, there has been a desire to prolong life - or preferably extend it indefinitely. In the past, it was myths, religions, alchemists or mysterious rituals that gave people hope. Today, it is no longer magicians sitting over ancient parchments, but some of the richest people in the world sitting over state-of-the-art biology and AI technology. At first glance, it sounds like science fiction: is it possible to stop ageing? Can you „preserve“ yourself digitally? Can you transfer your thinking to a machine?

But the topic has long since left the ivory tower. Big tech billionaires are now investing billions in projects that are seriously investigating precisely these questions. Not because they want to become immortal gods - but because they can afford to research the limits of what is possible. This article explains quite simply what is behind this idea, what technical developments already exist today, where the limits lie - and why this topic will become increasingly important over the next 20 years.

How AI specialists can be trained today - opportunities for companies and trainees

Train an AI specialist

Just a few years ago, artificial intelligence was a topic for research institutes and large corporations.

Today, AI is no longer a topic for the future, but a reality: it writes texts, creates images, analyzes data and controls production processes. Whether in administration, trade or industry - it can now be found everywhere.

Why ERP software alone is not enough - and how to really understand processes

ERP software: Understanding operating processes before digitalization

In many companies, it always follows the same pattern: at some point, management realizes that "something is no longer running smoothly". Perhaps processes have become too slow, errors are accumulating, or the company is increasingly losing track of figures, customers or internal processes. The call for a new software solution becomes loud - preferably a modern, powerful ERP software that "can do everything". But this is often where a fatal fallacy begins.

"The Unconventional Database Book" introduces the process way of thinking.

The Unconventional Database Book

What do cell phone contacts, to-do lists, calendars and even your own closet have in common? That's right: they can be displayed as tables - and that's no coincidence. Data has long since become a basic building block of our everyday lives. If you understand it, you understand the world a little better. This is exactly where "The Unconventional Database book" comes in.

Because anyone who can understand processes and backgrounds in everyday life is automatically able to design software processes quickly and intuitively and implement them in practice.
