Marcelo Gleiser argues that humans have already become transhuman, deeply integrated with technology in ways that extend our physical and mental capabilities. He challenges the traditional notion that artificial intelligence will exist separately and potentially in opposition to humans.
Marcelo Gleiser argues that humans have already become transhuman, deeply integrated with technology in ways that extend our physical and mental capabilities. He challenges the traditional notion that artificial intelligence will exist separately and potentially in opposition to humans. Instead, Gleiser envisions a future where AI serves as an extension of human intelligence, amplifying our abilities and enriching our experience. He suggests that the future of AI is not about creating separate entities that could render humans obsolete, but about enhancing human capabilities and wisdom through technological integration.
