Abstract
The topic of immortality is being seen as a science fiction. However, with the world rapidly reaching the fourth industrial
revolution, scientists should put more emphasis on the emerging possibility of attaining immortality with the outstand-
ing pace of Machine Learning (ML) development. The summary of modern research in areas such as gene editing, Brain
Computer Interfaces (BCI) and wetware computing through ML would also be presented to support the idea of the urgent
importance of immortality possibility. This article provides the naming convention that depicts different aspects of immor-
tality: generated, digital and physical and how they could be achieved. It also provides the general predictions presenting
the possibility of achieving Generated Immortality by 2025.
