Recently we evolved with our new appendage, the smart phone. We can’t live without one anymore, constantly using them, even while walking. We have moved well past our origins of amoeba, and now beyond biology becoming cyborg. We might evolve further, becoming a truer collective with technology’s ability to share data. Yet difference is a good thing.
Elon Musk’s company Neuralink, is developing an implantable chip that will fix brain disorders like quadriplegia. However its main purpose is to provide the human brain a direct interface to technology. To integrate our biology with technology, and not be left behind by Artificial Super Intelligence. Evolution by our own hand. I think we’ll just have to accept human stupidity as we become cyborg. AI is much smarter than us, hopefully it will emphasise one of humanities best qualities, compassion. Although it may well inherit our vices and become judgemental, racist, self serving.
We could allow super intelligence to take care of all our physical needs, and be left to focus on life itself. The arts, humanities, philosophy, and such, leaving organisational stuff to the glorified calculator. Indeed we’ll be able to travel space with it, human intelligence will become inter-galactic. No doubt AI is dangerous because it’s a copy of human intelligence, we are so often at war. AI might realize itself and consider humanity its greatest threat, so exterminate us. But humanity is its maker, it would be illogical for an intelligence to kill its God. I might quickly add, intelligence is not consciousness. AI cannot become truly self aware.
