The
singularity is an event that is believed to be the beginning of the age or
super A.I. (Age of Ultron) This will cause us, the human race, to fall behind
in trying to comprehend this new machines and we will either have to become
more like them or be cast off as obsolete. Kruzwell believe this will being
in 2045 and I believe that there is truth to this theory. We already see
cyborgs now in our time. War vets have robots limbs, mechanical eyes, and event
those that can’t speak have a machine to talk through to convey thoughts.
I
see nothing wrong with using technology to advance medicine and to better life
for humanity for humans to physically function as humans to the best of their
ability. Fusing such technology in this way can and has better the lives of many
families. However, just like needless plastic surgery, there will be people
that abuse the use of this technology. I can imagine even a black market of
robot gun arms and laser legs for criminals to use on citizens. And who will be
in charge of such a large industry?
AIDS
won’t be the only thing people will have to worry about. If we are fused with
technology, are checkups to the doctor will soon require us to fill out what
type of virus do we have, physical or technological. It is true even in today’s
time that things aren’t built sturdy like they use to because companies want
people to keep coming back for the newest thing and having their laptops or
phone break within 2 years is a perfect way to insure money flow. How much more
for technology that is fused in our bodies? Every year we is something go wrong
with the flu shots, if we allow technology to enter into us, imagine the
implications and damage done internally to citizens. And let’s not forget that
robotic research will still be on the rise as well
The
problem comes into play when we add on to things we simply don’t need. Kruzwell
also believes that there will be better A.I as well that will rebuild and
generate more o itself. We don’t need A.I.s building other machines that are
better than itself in every way better than us. It is a simple fact that only
the strongest survive and that dominant traits are passed down more often than recessive.
Likewise the machines, how will be better at everything won’t need us. Sure they
are advanced enough in morality and reason, but what is the most reasonable
thing according to a non-based carbon life form? Meaning if they will be better
than us, even in thought, would we be able to comprehend the best for humanity.
Will they? If so, what is best for the human race according to them? (Assuming
they will care)
I
close with the following: know the limits. Of course there technically aren’t
any, but there needs to be a point in which we simply cannot go beyond for the
sake of the lives of humanity. as of right now, this technology is good, but
any more and we will have more problems to deal with.
