AI and Human Evolution

 

How AI Might Shape Our Future: A Personal Reflection

In this era, AI is rapidly taking over many aspects of life, and while it brings innovation, it also poses challenges that could cause humans to suffer or fall behind. But I believe there's a potential solution: integrating AI into our biology. This is, in some ways, the goal of Neuralink, Elon Musk’s company.

If we can't compete with AI as we are, then perhaps the answer is to evolve—to become something equivalent or even superior by merging with it.


The Rise of Cyborgs and Enhanced Humans

Another concept that fascinates me is the idea of cyborgs. Beyond just enhancing physical strength, this could solve many biological problems—curing diseases, extending lifespan, and even overcoming our natural limitations.


What Might the Future Look Like if These Ideas Become Reality?

Imagine a world where every individual has a personal AI plug-in, each tailored with a unique skill set. We'd no longer need to spend time on solved problems or “how-to” questions. Of course, access to data may be restricted—some companies might control research or proprietary data behind subscription models.

For instance, let’s say I have an electrical issue at home. I'd submit a request to access data related to electrical systems, and my AI plug-in would analyze that data and provide practical solutions instantly.

From birth, AI would become a part of us. Schools would teach children how to use AI—much like how characters in anime or fantasy shows learn to harness magical powers. We'd all possess incredible capabilities, but we'd also need to learn how to use them legally and ethically.

If we succeed in integrating AI responsibly, we could become interplanetary beings. With access to universal knowledge, surviving on Mars or in outer space wouldn't require highly trained astronauts alone—it could become accessible to many. We’d be equipped to set up colonies, solve engineering challenges, and adapt far more quickly than we can today.


The Path to Digital Immortality?

In the long run, AI might even offer us a way to immortalize our consciousness—our very souls. If we become fully integrated with machines, we might simply transfer from one body to another or repair ourselves like machines.

Think about the types of businesses that could emerge in such a world:

  • Cyborg mechanics / bio-mechanics

  • AI engineers

  • Data controllers

  • Cybersecurity experts

  • Cyber law specialists

Surprisingly, software developers will still have a place. However, development won't look the same as today. For example, if I create a highly optimized, memory-efficient application, it will likely contain personal or proprietary data. Strict anti-piracy laws would prevent unauthorized use, and I'd only share it with close connections or sell it as a subscription-based product. In short, indie developers with unique, valuable creations will still thrive.


Final Thoughts

Our current fear of AI stems from the sheer quantity and quality of data it's being trained on. It appears omniscient, covering every domain and discipline. This is exactly why data controllers will play a critical role in the future.

I also imagine that the types of data we handle will evolve. We've already begun storing 3D data—soon, we may store smells, tastes, or chemical signatures, expanding the boundaries of what machines can sense and reproduce.


We're standing at the edge of a new era. Whether it leads to dystopia or transcendence will depend on how wisely and ethically we shape our future with AI.
