The Japanese government will solicit research proposals for cyborg and other advanced technologies, with those selected to be funded for up to 10 years, with a budget of 100 billion yen ($921 million) for the first five years. The cyborg component will aim to realize technology to replace human bodily functions that diminish due to age using robotics or living organisms, by 2050. The program also hopes to develop technologies for full automation of human tasks in agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, as well as on construction sites, by 2040. The 25 project areas have been assigned individual deadlines for meeting their objectives, from 2035 to 2060, and will be ranked by priority. The program will draw on new industrial fields based on technical innovations, like digitization and artificial intelligence (AI). Japan aims to develop AI robot systems that automatically detect Nobel Prize-worthy scientific discoveries by 2050.... "
