Ultimately, the ageing process itself could be slowed down or even halted.

Part 1. THE INTELLIGENCE REVOLUTION: In the opening installment, Kaku explains how artificial intelligence will revolutionize homes, workplaces and lifestyles, and how virtual worlds will become so realistic that they will rival the physical world.
