Part 6/13:
Nanomachines: Already, our bodies contain nanomolecular machinery that performs various chemical processes. Future advances could lead to nanobots capable of repairing or enhancing organs in real time.
Genetic editing: Techniques like CRISPR have shown that editing and optimizing human genomes is feasible, and their ethical and technical barriers could diminish over time.
AI-designed innovations: AI systems increasingly design chips, optimize biological processes, and improve their own architectures, leading to an intelligence "bootstrap" cycle—each iteration more capable than the last.
This recursive aspect is central to the idea of an ASI: an intelligence that not only surpasses human cognition but can improve itself faster than humans can understand or control.
