( Five minute read)
In the future there will be two types species.
One organic and one not.
Both living in a common universe under an umbrella of laws that are totally separate.
Yes!
None of us reading this will be around when this comes to fruition, but the consequences are already visible in as much, ( thanks to Capitalism ) we now live an existence rather than a life.
——————
The thing that defines us as humans is our belonging to the human species not any other form of life.
Self awareness and individuality, the thing we call “consciousness” is the binary element to all of us up to the present day.
However it’s hard to tell if other animals are self aware, since we can’t really communicate with them, never mind an AI agent.
So the question is.
Do you think humanity is defined by knowledge, compassion, strength, or something else?
We no longer run from predators or climb trees.
Instead, we sit for hours with our eyes glued to screens. Technology already does much of our thinking for us.
With calculators, GPS, and artificial intelligence, our brains are less challenged than in prehistoric times.
In short:
What defines us as human?
Language is at the very heart of what defines us as humans.
As we blend the best traits from nature fusing with machines, this will no longer be true, because we will not rely on natural evolution at all. Instead, we may merge with technology to become “Transhumanic , part human, part machine.
Our consciousness could be uploaded into a digital form, allowing us to live indefinitely inside a computer or a robotic body.
This future what ever you want to call it would be built to survive both the technological and environmental challenges of the next millennium and have the capacity to adapt as the world changes in unpredictable ways.
One way or the other.,
We had better start adapting our existing, systems (on all levels) to survive.
Because intelligent will not belong only to humans.
What we are seeing to day is only a preview of what’s coming.
This change is no longer optional because we are already living inside Artificial Intelligence, and the rules are already different, tearing norms apart with decisions influenced by data, not motivated by morality but by profit.
Is this the world we want?
All human comments appreciate. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
