In an age when technologies such as Artificial Intelligence threaten to replace human intelligence, an award-winning scientist offers a radically new perspective on our innate human “technology” and what we are truly capable of achieving.
There are rare moments in human history when our choices irrevocably change the world and our lives. Today, without a doubt, we are living through one of them.
Scientists, engineers, and philosophers warn that unless we radically change the way we think, we may be the last generation to carry purely human DNA. Within a single generation, we may evolve into a hybrid species of synthetic bodies, Artificial Intelligence, and microchips, limiting our ability to think, love, and adapt healthily to the new conditions of an ever-changing world. Along with these changes, human nature will lose its emotions, empathy, intimacy, and forgiveness — the very things that make the human species unique.
So the question we must answer is simple. Do we love ourselves enough to protect the gift of our human nature?
