Artificially intelligent nanomachines could be implanted in the human body within 20 years to assist in repairing and strengthening muscles, tissues and bones. "Within 20 years, technology will have advanced so much that humans and machines will be able to effectively 'bond' and take human consciousness and cognition a giant step forward," McNamara reportedly said. We can expect to see AI nanomachines implanted in the human body, which will have enormous medical benefits, such as helping to repair cellular, muscular and skeletal damage, and perhaps even strengthening it," he said.
Manamella added: "Through the science and technology that is currently being explored, we can already envision technological products that combine biology and technology to directly enhance human cognitive abilities, which is expected to dramatically improve mental health, as well as using massive amounts of computational power to enhance our minds."
Scientists at companies including Microsoft have begun to develop computers made from DNA that could exist inside cells and look for defects in the body's network, such as cancer. If it detects the possibility of cancer, it will reboot the system to remove the diseased tissue.

Manamara also warned that the rise of artificial intelligence could have a "severe impact" on retailers and service providers, triggering a wave of unemployment.
Manamara said: "Today, poverty means not being able to afford the latest smartphone, but in the future, I fear that will be the difference between a group of people who may be exceptional in terms of physical ability, cognitive ability, health and longevity, and a much larger group of people who will lack such advantages.
