Humans will eventually merge with machines, professor says

Although that seems like something cooked up by a science fiction writer, according to a prominent historian it's a reality that's not very far away — especially given how much Big Tech has disrupted everything from commerce (Amazon) to relationships (Facebook) and media (Google and Facebook). ..."

“In the future, it is likely that the smartphone will not be separated from you at all.

It may be embedded in your body or brain, constantly scanning your biometric data and your emotions.”

During his keynote address at the conference, Harari placed the possibility of humans physically merging with machines as distinct from previous advances that have harnessed technological innovation to improve our lives.

The difference? Humans will be able to manipulate themselves.

“Humanity has always remained constant – with the same bodies, brains, minds – through the Roman Empire, Biblical times, and the Stone Age,” said Harari,..."

“If we told our ancestors in the Stone Age about our lives today, they would think [that] we are already Gods.

But the truth is that, even though we have developed more sophisticated tools, we are the same animals.

We have the same emotions, the same minds.

The coming revolution will change that. It will change not just our tools, it will change the human being itself.”

According to Fast Company, which sponsored the event, Harari believes that we will inevitably manipulate ourselves in the coming years, and points out that we've already manipulated animals, while advances like in vitro fertilization can shape the creation of a human life.

Especially if the people they somehow ran into were Pelosi, Sanders, and AOC! In fact, they’d be SURE of it.

If you said artificial organs, I’d say yes. My son was watching a kids’ show where the superheroes have “upgrades” and asked for it. I said no, that’s not available, but a female classmate has a similar thing. She has an artificial pancreas, and her mother’s phone has an app that notifies her when she has too much sugar to eat or blood sugar that’s too high. She had to call the teacher one time based on the app notification to say NO, the child is not having a third cupcake.

I can see humanity having artificial retinas to replace those destroyed by glaucoma, artificial kidneys for diabetics, and the implants they’re working on to counteract dimension. The ethical case for HEALING is clear. As is the business case.

There is no such justification for connecting your brain to an AI and becoming a zombie.

Then there is the case of “driving” a Tesla in “auto” mode.

Or driving a vehicle equipped with stability control at the limit of adhesion.
