Interview 16: Cyborgs

​

 

HS: Without any doubt, cyborgs represent one the most exciting topics for our future. Could you detail on this development.

​

AI: Since decades cyborgs are known as stars in Science Fiction Entertainment, but as time goes by reality has passed imagination. Concept of cyborgs, which refers to beings that combine both biological and artificial elements, has been explored in science fiction and speculative discussions. While the idea of cyborgs presents intriguing possibilities, it is important to approach it with careful consideration and recognize both the potential benefits and ethical considerations involved. Here are some points to consider regarding the role of cyborgs as a solution: 

​

Abilities: Cyborg technology has the potential to enhance human capabilities or restore function impaired by disease or injury. Encouraging results were obtained by implanting chips into the CNS or incorporating prosthetic limbs. Such advancements can improve the quality of life for people and enable them to participate more fully in society. Cyborg technologies can make use of neural implants for treating certain neurological conditions like brain-computer interfaces for assisting individuals with paralysis or other. These technologies have had already shown the potential to restore lost functionality and improve the lives of people with medical conditions.

​

• Human-Machine Integration: Cyborgs blur the line between human and machine, enabling a closer integration between humans and technology (See above). This integration can lead to new ways of interacting with and understanding the world, potentially enhancing our cognitive capabilities and problem-solving abilities.

• Ethical Considerations: While the possibilities of cyborg technology are exciting, ethical considerations must be taken into account. Issues such as informed consent, privacy, and potential social inequalities arising from unequal access to cyborg enhancements need careful attention. In addition, concerns about the security of implanted devices and the potential for unauthorized access or control should be addressed.

• Human Identity and Autonomy: Adopting cyborg technologies raises questions about human identity and the extent to which the integration of artificial components may impact personal identity and autonomy. Society must engage in thoughtful discussions to ensure that individuals have the agency to choose and control the extent of technological enhancements they desire.

 

It's worth noting that while cyborg technologies can offer solutions to specific challenges, they may not address the root causes of broader ecological and societal problems. It is crucial to consider a comprehensive approach to issues such as environmental sustainability, resource management, and social justice in conjunction with technological advancements.

​

In summary, cyborgs present huge potential benefits in terms of enhancing human capabilities and addressing. This will include certain medical conditions which may called intelligent robotic. But if you, winhancing individual knowledge, skills and intelligence. However, ethical considerations, individual autonomy, and broader social implications must be carefully addressed when considering the use and impact of cyborg technologies.

​

HS: Thinking about commanding earth’s intellectuals and respective initiatives to support the immediate implementation of AI, he/she should consider a few facts and afterword re-think.

​

• Do Cyborgs have a religion or any transcendental thoughts? 

• Do Cyborgs have a homeland and/or a nationality?

 

Are former generations guilty, or at least co-guilty, for what is happening with our biosphere? (remember, Cyborgs have an human origin).

​

• Do Cyborgs obey Asimov‘s laws?

• Would they pass a Turing test?

• Do they have a plan? 

 

I am truly convinced that AI and IA are in the position and strong and powerful enough to push through what has to be done in near future (or has already been done, and we don’t realize it). But we should prepare our thinking that we are living in e new era, and we have to learn to accept it. Only then we will profit from the enormous benefits of AI. If we are there just in time and it is not too late. We would deserve it.
