RE: Will AI and Robotics Create a New Form of Slavery? (Part 1 - Humans as Masters)

in #life8 years ago (edited)

Just like everything we create as humans, robots and AI will be there to serve our needs. So in a way, yes they will be our slaves and that might raise some ethical questions. But I don't think this will last long as at some point humans themselves will 'transition' into a digital, machine form. Our biological bodies are weak, full of flaws and worst of all...they die. The human species as we know them today will be extinct soon, not by some cosmic catastrophe, but voluntarily. Our minds will be transferred into a digital existence through which we will control our world.

Thanks for your intelligent comment. Yes I think transhumanism is definitely a strong possibility for changing the situation. It would also get around the machine revolt scenario to a degree - if we become the machines then one would assume it would reduce though not eliminate the risk of them turning against us.
