Dr Charles Awuzie has declared death by natural causes will be optional and that humans will live over 150 years by 2045.
Awuzie, the co-founder and CEO of The Transhuman Coin (THC), said this would happen due to the ongoing disruptive research findings in longevity science.
The Nigerian South African-based techpreneur and biochemist made this known while speaking on the launch of Gemsbok’s new generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbox, GemsbokGPT.
He said:
“The longevity field is another emerging field of interest. Biotechnology is going to take the world by storm, just like Artificial Intelligence.
“Transhuman Coin is a research-oriented token. We are merging artificial intelligence with biotechnology in the Metaverse to solve diseases and ageing.”
He said a high-powered scientific advisory board leads the THC team by Professor Avinash Singh, a Google award-winning brain machine-interface expert at the University of Technology, Sydney.
He also said that they have invested in a robotic AI-powered wheelchair which Melinda Gates of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation even tested.
His words:
“In 2021, I was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases which were genetically inherited from my parents. My condition was life-threatening but could have been detected/understood earlier if there was a ledger that stored genetic data on the blockchain.

“We will solve death by 2045. Death will become optional. The uniqueness of our project is that owners of the data will receive incentives each time their data is used for research.
“This will provide some economic relief to the owners of the data who are predominantly from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.”
