COEVOLUTION: ARTIFICIAL HUMANS

Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit Thus far, the history of computing has followed a trajectory of ever greater integration and interaction between humans and machines. Fashioning our tools to fit us ever more closely—in line with millennia of human practice— we have not previously considered developing tools that were unsuited to our anatomy or intellect, instead remaining guided only and wholly by the limits of our biology. But now the advent of AI may persuade at least some of us to contemplate a reverse mission: In a case where our tools appear to outpace our capabilities—as AI sometimes does already—might we consider engineering ourselves so as to maximize the tools’ utility and thus ensure our continued participation in shared endeavors like those outlined in previous chapters? Biological engineering efforts designed for tighter human fusion with machines are already underway. Starting with physical interconnects by means of chips in the human brain, ...

Homo Technicus

a human species that may, in this new age, live in symbiosis with machine technology. Indeed, either mindset could preclude the evolution of our species. Henry A. Kissinger, Craig Mundie, Eric Schmidt Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit For further exploration of the idea Homo technicus , see Henry A. Kissinger, Eric Schmidt, Daniel Huttenlocher, “ChatGPT Heralds an Intellectual Revolution,” Wall Street Journal , February 24, 2023.
