Technologies are developing at an incredible speed, and it is already possible to imagine how the world will change by 2035. Artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, quantum computers, gene engineering, and neurointerfaces - all of this will radically transform our lives.
In this article, we will consider possible future scenarios:
- Cryptocurrencies as a means of payment between robots
- Self-awareness of AI and humanoid robots
- Blockchain and quantum computers
- Medicine of the future: victory over cancer, aging, and genetic modifications
- Virtual reality and chip implantation in humans
- Mind transfer to a new body
1. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies - money for machines?
By 2035, cryptocurrencies may become the primary means of payment not only between people but also between autonomous AI agents and robots.
Why cryptocurrency?
- Decentralization: machines will be able to transact without banks.
- Smart contracts: automatic payments for services (for example, a robot taxi will receive payment in BTC or ETH).
- Microtransactions: nanopayments for data or computing resources.
Possible issues:
- Quantum computers can break current encryption algorithms, so by 2035, quantum-resistant blockchains will emerge.
- Regulation: states may restrict the use of cryptocurrencies by AI.
2. Does artificial intelligence recognize itself? Humanoids among us
Even now, neural networks demonstrate the beginnings of pseudo-consciousness - they can generalize, learn, and even lie. By 2035, AI may reach a level of artificial general intelligence (AGI) comparable to human.
Humanoid robots:
- Tesla Optimus, Boston Dynamics Atlas, Figure AI - the first steps towards humanoid androids.
- By 2035, they may become personal assistants, colleagues, and even friends.
Are we ready to accept robots in our lives?
- Yes: convenience, assistance in daily life, replacement of dangerous professions.
- No: unemployment, ethical issues (robot rights?), threat of AI hacking.
3. Blockchain and quantum computers
Blockchain will become the foundation for:
- Decentralized states (DAO)
- Digital passports and identification
- Data protection from forgery
Quantum computers:
- RSA and ECC encryption will be broken → new algorithms are needed.
- They will accelerate the development of drugs and materials.
4. Medicine of the future: immortality, genetics, and body change
By 2035, breakthroughs are possible:
- Cure for cancer: AI + gene therapy (CRISPR, mRNA vaccines).
- Pill against aging: senolytics, telomerase, metformin.
- DNA modification: genome editing for disease treatment and body enhancement.
- Change of appearance in a day: bioprinting skin, nanorobots for changing eye color.
5. Virtual reality and chips in the brain
- Full immersion in VR/AR (like in "The Matrix" or "Ready Player One").
- Neural interfaces (Neuralink, Synchron) - controlling gadgets by thought.
- Uploading memories to the cloud (but this is still fiction).
6. Mind transfer and a new body
- Cryopreservation of the brain + artificial body.
- Bioprinting organs - it will be possible to "grow" a new body.
- Digital immortality: copying personality into AI.
Output: what will 2035 be like?
If technologies continue to develop at this pace, by 2035 we can expect:
✅ Autonomous economy of machines on blockchain
✅ AI with elements of consciousness and humanoid robots
✅ Victory over aging and genetic modifications
✅ Merging humans with technologies (chips, VR, neurointerfaces)
But there are risks:
❌ Loss of privacy
❌ Threat of superintelligence (if AI goes out of control)
❌ Social inequality (immortality only for the wealthy?)
The future is already close. Are we ready for it?
