... When analyzing the science, ethics, and societal impacts of artificial immortality, this research aims to contribute to an urgently needed discourse. The implications of this innovation are far-reaching, touching on grief, identity, goal for the field (Ahsan & Detwiler, 2020;Kurzweil, 2005). ...
... Neural mapping involves decoding the structure and function of the human brain, aiming to translate neural activity into data that can be stored and replicated. Advances in brain-machine interfaces, such as Elon Musk's Neuralink, are paving the way for real-time brain mapping, creating the possibility of uploading and preserving a person's consciousness (Neuralink, 2023;Kurzweil, 2005). ...
... As these applications continue to evolve, they offer a glimpse into the future of artificial immortality, hinting at possibilities for preserving memories and maintaining connections with loved ones. However, their current limitations remind us that true replication of the human mind remains an aspirational goal, requiring advances not only in AI but also in our understanding of consciousness itself (Kurzweil, 2005). ...

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought us closer to something that once seemed like pure science fiction: artificial immortality. This technology could digitally preserve human consciousness, memories, and personality, redefining how we think about life and death. But with such groundbreaking possibilities come some big challenges-ethical, psychological, and societal. This paper dives into the science behind artificial immortality, exploring how neural mapping, AI personality replication, and memory uploads work. It also looks at the ethical dilemmas, like how we handle authenticity, avoid exploitation, and ensure consent. Beyond that, it examines the cultural and religious questions that comes along when you start gambling with the idea of mortality itself.
... Some see technological replacements as upgrades, steps on a new path of human evolution, directed by those traits and abilities we want more of. Engineers and transhumanists alike foresee a utopic cyborg future, full of people free to choose the kind of bodymind they want, specifically designed to help them do what they most want to do, be it make music or play sports or run a business (Clark, 2004;Kurzweil, 2005). These bodyminds will lead to the elimination of all social, scientific, technical, and political problems via a more intelligent populace, 3 and may also lead to the elimination of death, disease, disability, and poverty. ...
... The cyborg image is usually the apotheosis -the maximalized vision -of what human form and function should be. Beyond simple idealization, the cyborg is often all but deified; the god-like telos of the human form, freed from all of its biological fragility, forever upgradeable, repairable, and immortal (Clark, 2004;Kurzweil, 2005;Savulescu & Bostrom, 2009). This is the image of the transhumanists; an image of tying human ability to the exponential "improvement" of technology. ...
... "Smart," here, being some arbitrary, measurable number of operations per second. Ray Kurzweil has written at least five books that deal with this idea: The Age of Intelligent Machines (Kurzweil, 1990), The Age of Spiritual Machines (Kurzweil, 2000), The Singularity is Near (Kurzweil, 2005), How to Create a Mind (Kurzweil, 2013), and most recently The Singularity Is Nearer (Kurzweil, 2024). They all begin from the assumption that once machines have enough computational power or complexity, they will become what we might call intelligent or minded. ...

In this article, I discuss two popular tropes about the cyborg in speculative fiction visual media: apotheosis — the pinnacle of human form and function; and grotesquerie — the violation of that perfection through fascinating horror. I look at these tropes in service of discussing the effects of such images and cultural understandings on actual cyborgs. The everyday or common cyborgs that are disabled people; the ones with prosthetics, who use wheelchairs, hearing aids, beta blockers, and Ritalin, who have artificial valves, knees, and pacemakers. I argue that the imagery of perfection and horror that surround cyborgs in media reinforce problematic tropes about disabled people, specifically the tropes of the super crip, pity, and bitter cripple narratives, and the ugly is evil trope where physical disfigurements and disabilities are often shorthand for moral failing. I connect these tropes to longstanding beliefs that were foundational to the eugenics movement of the 19th and 20th centuries, and that still cause resistance to robust social services for disabled people.
... Однако де Шарден предложил телеологический подход, утверждая, что эволюция ноосферы и человеческого сознания направлена к конечному состоянию или конечной цели, которую он назвал «точкой Омега» [2]. Развивая эти основополагающие идеи, современные ученые, такие, как Рэй Курцвейл и Фрэнк Типлер, разработали футуристические и трансгуманистические взгляды на ноосферу и ее потенциальные последствия [3,4]. Они популяризировали идею о том, что развитие искусственного интеллекта (ИИ) и других передовых технологий может привести к существенным изменениям в человеческом обществе и нашем понимании космоса. ...
... Тем не менее интеграция человека и систем ИИ может привести к появлению новых сущностей, обладающих конкурентными преимуществами перед своими биологическими или искусственными аналогами. Сочетание человеческой интуиции, креативности и эмпатии с вычислительной мощностью, адаптивностью и точностью ИИ может привести к развитию новых инновационных возможностей, нового этапа развития цивилизации [3]. ...
... По мере того как различные типы ИИ, включая слабый ИИ (narrow AI), общий ИИ (general AI) и сильный ИИ (superintelligent AI), становятся все более совершенными и интегрируются в общество, важно учитывать динамику власти между биосферными, техносферными и ноосферными субъектами [3]. Субъекты ноосферы, такие, как идеологии, убеждения и ценности, могут обладать огромной силой и влиянием на поведение человека [14]. ...

In this analytical review, we explore the potential impact of the rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) tools on the biosphere and noosphere, suggesting that the trend may lead to a transformative event that could be termed “Human-AI integration.” We argue that this integration could give rise to novel lifeforms, associations, and hierarchies, resulting in competitive advantages and increased complexity of structural organizations within both the biosphere and noosphere. Our central premise emphasizes the importance of human-AI integration as a global adaptive response crucial for our civilization’s survival amidst a rapidly changing environment. The convergence may initially manifest itself through symbiotic, endosymbiotic, or other mutualistic relationships, such as domestication, contingent on the rate at which AI systems achieve autonomy and develop survival instincts akin to those of biological organisms. We investigate potential drivers of these scenarios, addressing the ethical and existential challenges arising from the AI-driven transformation of the biosphere and noosphere, and considering potential trade-offs. Additionally, we discuss the application of complexity and the balance between competition and cooperation to better comprehend and navigate these transformative scenarios.
... Such AI systems, or strong AI, are also anticipated to be capable of human-like thought, moral reason, sentience, and consciousness. Other scholars, like Vernor Vinge (1993), Ray Kurzweil (2005), and Nick Bostrom (2014), speculate that strong AI, when sufficiently advanced, could develop an improved version of itself, which could, in turn, create a greater version of itself until we arrive at an intelligence explosion or singularity. However, scholars, including Bostrom, have pointed out that such AI advancement would come at greater "existential risks" to humanity. ...
... AI could play a major role in gene editing/engineering process aimed at enhancing humans. Transhumanists such as Hans Moravec (1988), Bostrom (2005), Kurzweil (2005), De Grey and Rae (2007), Max More (2013), Natasha Vita-more (2019), Newton Lee (2019), and Stefan L. Sorgner (2022) defend the possibility of creating trans-and-post biological life without the limitations of disease, ageing, suffering, cognitive and moral limitations, and even death. ...

In this article, I will consider the moral issues that might arise from the possibility of creating more complex and sophisticated autonomous intelligent machines or simply artificial intelligence (AI) that would have the human capacity for moral reasoning, judgment, and decision-making, and (the possibility) of humans enhancing their moral capacities beyond what is considered normal for humanity. These two possibilities raise an urgency for ethical principles that could be used to analyze the moral consequences of the intersection of AI and transhumanism. In this article, I deploy personhood-based relational ethics grounded on Afro-communitarianism as an African ethical framework to evaluate some of the moral problems at the intersection of AI and transhumanism. In doing so, I will propose some Afro-ethical principles for research and policy development in AI and transhumanism.
... The term artificial general intelligence (AGI) refers to a learning paradigm that results in an agent whose level of intelligence is comparable to human intelligence and that is capable of performing any intellectual task a human can perform [14][15][16]. Sometimes AGI is referred to as "narrow AI" or "strong AI" [17,18] but the terminology for this is not consistent [19]. To date, the goal of designing such an agent hasn't been reached yet but there are speculations that we could achieve AGI within the next few decades [17,20]. ...

The success of the conversational AI system ChatGPT has triggered an avalanche of studies that explore its applications in research and education. There are also high hopes that, in addition to such particular usages, it could lead to artificial general intelligence (AGI) that means to human-level intelligence. Such aspirations, however, need to be grounded by actual scientific means to ensure faithful statements and evaluations of the current situation. The purpose of this article is to put ChatGPT into perspective and to outline a way forward that might instead lead to an artificial special intelligence (ASI), a notion we introduce. The underlying idea of ASI is based on an environment that consists only of text. We will show that this avoids the problem of embodiment of an agent and leads to a system with restricted capabilities compared to AGI. Furthermore, we discuss gated actions as a means of large language models to moderate ethical concerns.
... The URF posits that these technological networks represent an extension of consciousness beyond the organic, potentially enabling a convergence of human and artificial cognition. As networks of artificial intelligence become more interconnected, they create an environment where informational consciousness could develop through recursive feedback loops similar to those seen in biological systems (Kurzweil, 2005;Moon & LaRock, 2021). This convergence aligns with the URF's view of energy and information as bounded entities that adaptively organize across dimensions, allowing for new forms of cognition that transcend individual identity. ...
... Further research might investigate the implications of informational consciousness, examining how recursive scaling and symmetry-breaking might influence cognitive networks and human-computer interactions, contributing to a more interconnected awareness that bridges biological and artificial domains (Kurzweil, 2005;Tegmark, 2014). ...

The Unified Recursive Framework (URF) presents a novel, scale-agnostic approach to understanding the interconnected evolution of structures, consciousness, and dimensional emergence across cosmic, biological, and informational realms. Rooted in principles of symmetry, symmetry-breaking, and recursive scaling, the URF postulates that energy, when bounded within higher-dimensional scaffolds, drives complex emergence by channeling foundational mathematical structures. This hexagonal sub-Planckian scaffold, characterized by spatial efficiency and minimal-energy configurations, operates as an organizing rule across scales, guiding the transition from atomic structures to life, consciousness, and beyond. At its core, the URF integrates both physical and biological perspectives, suggesting that universal principles underlie all forms of existence, with symmetry-breaking as a key factor in the evolution of consciousness. By establishing recursive processes and phase transitions as markers of dimensional and sentient progression, the URF explores the possibility of consciousness evolving beyond biological constraints, culminating in a hypothetical transition to purely informational or interconnected states. This framework challenges linear cosmological models, reframes energy as a recursive driver, and distinguishes itself from panpsychism by grounding its principles in structural efficiency rather than assumed consciousness in non-sentient forms. The URF's implications span fields as diverse as artificial intelligence, global interconnectedness, and planetary ecology, offering a transformative perspective on consciousness evolution, from individual sentience to global and ultimately cosmic awareness. This paper outlines the URF's foundational principles, explores its applications in various dimensions of consciousness, and offers insights into future directions for both theoretical and applied research within this paradigm.
... This era marks the evolution of a complex system where knowledge turnover is not only rapid but also increasingly autonomous, making it challenging for humans to manage (Benkler, 2006). Kurzweil (2005) argued that the future of the Internet will be shaped by software agents exchanging knowledge without human intervention. Moreover, the decoding of the human genome and its availability on the Internet (Venter, 2013), raises fundamental questions about human control and our relationship with technology. ...

This study examines the potential risks of emerging payment technologies and value transfer systems in facilitating terrorist activities. Through an analysis of publications, blogs, and websites associated with terrorist groups and their supporters, the research reveals a growing interest in leveraging cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and online crowdfunding platform to support funding, planning, and implementation of terror attacks. While concrete evidence of large-scale cryptocurrency use by terrorist groups is limited, there are indications of links to several terror attacks globally. This study demonstrates the potential for cryptocurrencies to facilitate clandestine activities, utilizing a document published by ISIS that outlines instructions undetected. By analyzing this document, researchers highlighted the potential risks associated with the anonymous and decentralized nature of cryptocurrency transactions. The study adopted actor-network theory as its theoretical underpinning. The findings suggest that terrorist organizations are actively exploring new technologies to mitigate threats linked with traditional fund transfer approach, with some websites collecting donations in Bitcoin. The study recommends amongst others that the Law enforcement agencies must enhance their capabilities to track cryptocurrency transactions, which include training investigators in criminal funding inquiries related to cryptocurrencies, recruiting professionals in the field,and acquiring innovative IT schemes despite the challenges
... Yet, while this function is exponential in arithmetic terms, it is linear in logarithmic terms. The logological constant has also been called the "Snooksian algorithm" to distinguish it from the more recent, but fantastical hyper-exponential algorithms proposed by the "singularity-ists" (Panov 2005 andKurzweil 2005), which, bizarrely, predict infinitely rapid growth rates in the near future. This is economically impossible (see Snooks 2019a). ...

Human society has reached a critical crossroad in history. The global dynamic process that has driven the prosperity and freedoms embodied in Western civilization is grinding to a halt. The narrowing opportunities for humanity as population presses on technologically defined resources is generating public protests, ugly competition, civil disputes, displacement of populations, and a loss of confidence in our political and social institutons. How the world reacts to this crisis over the next few decades will determine the fate of both Western civilization and the rest of the world. Prospects, however, are not bright. Not because the underlying dynamic mechanism of global change is malfunctioning, but because so-called "progressives"--who are really metaphysical interventionists--are attempting to reshape the world using pseudo-science, which is unable to realistically interpret the dynamics of human society. If they are successful, the world will experience a massive reduction in material prosperity, a loss of hard-won individual liberty, and a huge loss of life. Essentially, it will result in the setting of the sun on the West--and the rest of the world. But, there is a better way--a brave new dawn--which is outlined in this essay.
... AI research has already reached stages where machines exhibit cognitive capabilitiessuch as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving-previously thought to be uniquely human. Many experts, including Ray Kurzweil, advocate the idea that AI will soon surpass human intelligence, reaching a state known as the technological singularity, where machines will outperform humans in all cognitive functions (Kurzweil, 2005). The possibility that extraterrestrial life forms may have already achieved such an advanced state, and that their technology is rooted in AI rather than organic life forms, presents a new framework for understanding both the potential and limits of human exploration of the cosmos. ...

The search for extraterrestrial life has been a central endeavour of modern science, prompting scientists to explore the potential existence of intelligent beings beyond our planet. As humanity's technological capabilities advance, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), new possibilities emerge regarding how alien technologies might influence or even intertwine with human progress. This paper examines the hypothesis that if extraterrestrial civilizations exist, their technological development may not be biological, but rather an advanced form of AI.
... Возможно, сильный ИИ в будущем, развивая свои способности и преодолевая свои ограничения, сможет прийти к формированию своего «я» и идентичности, аналогично процессу становления сверхчеловека у Ницше. Следует отметить, что многие ученые и философы, такие как, например, Р. Курцвейл и М. Тегмарк, предполагают, что с развитием технологий и научных открытий в области нейронаук и когнитивных наук, создание искусственного сознания станет возможным [39,48]. Они утверждают, что если мы сможем точно воспроизвести процессы, происходящие в человеческом мозге, то получим ИИ, обладающий сознанием и самосознанием. ...
... Philosopher Nick Bostrom warns that humanity's inflated sense of importance may lead to disastrous consequences, as we might underestimate the risks associated with AI development (Bostrom, 2014). On the other hand, proponents like Kurzweil argue that embracing the singularity could lead to a "post-human" era, where humans and machines merge to transcend biological limitations (Kurzweil, 2005). ...

**Abstract** The emergence of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems raises profound questions about the future of human identity, autonomy, and societal structures. Central to this discourse is the concept of the singularity—a hypothetical point where AI surpasses human intelligence, potentially reshaping the fabric of existence. This paper explores the implications of AI's evolution on the human ego, a construct tied to individuality, creativity, and purpose. While some fear that AI's dominance could diminish human relevance, leading to existential crises and a loss of agency, others argue that it offers an unprecedented opportunity to transcend egoistic limitations, fostering collective progress and enlightenment. By examining ethical, philosophical, and technological dimensions, this study aims to unravel whether humanity should resist or embrace this transformation. Ultimately, the paper seeks to balance caution with optimism, advocating for a symbiotic future where AI enhances, rather than erodes, the essence of what it means to be human.
... Technological advancements in brain mapping and neural interface technologies, such as braincomputer interfaces (BCIs), have made it possible to simulate aspects of brain function in digital environments. These technologies are focused on mapping the brain's neural patterns, electrical activity, and biochemical states in an attempt to reproduce human cognitive functions in artificial settings (Kurzweil, 2005). However, despite progress in these areas, the idea of fully capturing a person's subjective experience-the "qualia" of consciousness-remains elusive. ...

As advances in technology inch closer to the possibility of uploading human consciousness to digital platforms, the preservation of personality and identity has emerged as a profound challenge. This speculative article examines the ethical, philosophical, and technical obstacles involved in transferring the essence of an individual's personality into a digital substrate. Drawing on perspectives from cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and existential philosophy, it explores questions surrounding the continuity of self, the potential for fragmentation of identity, and the implications for individual autonomy and social interaction. By critically engaging with existing literature on mind uploading, this paper seeks to illuminate the complexities of maintaining a cohesive and authentic self in an increasingly digital world.
... The development of strong AI and the accompanying arrival at the technological singularity could be a powerful tool for addressing various issues in society and science [e.g., 1]. Given that neural networks [e.g., 2,3] and deep learning, which are structured to mimic biological neural systems, hold the potential to create strong AI [e.g., 4]. ...

Developing strong AI could provide a powerful tool for addressing social and scientific challenges. Neural networks (NNs), inspired by biological systems, have the potential to achieve this. However, weight optimization techniques using error backpropagation are not observed in biological systems, raising doubts about current NNs approaches. In this context, Itoh (2024) solved the MNIST classification problem without using objective functions or backpropagation. However, weight updates were not used, so it does not qualify as machine learning AI. In this study, I develop a machine learning method that mimics biological neural systems by implementing Hebbian learning in NNs without backpropagation and optimization method to solve the MNIST classification problem and analyze its output. Development proceeded in three stages. In the first stage, I applied the Hebbian learning rule to the MNIST character recognition algorithm by Itoh (2024), resulting in lower accuracy than non-Hebbian NNs, highlighting the limitations of conventional training procedures for Hebbian learning. In the second stage, I examined the properties of individually trained NNs using norm-based cognition, showing that NNs trained on a specific label respond powerfully to that label. In the third stage, I created an MNIST character recognition program using vector norm magnitude as the criterion, achieving an accuracy of approximately 75%. This demonstrates that the Hebbian learning NNs can recognize handwritten characters without objective functions, backpropagation, or optimization processes. Based on these results, developing a mechanism based on norm-based cognition as a fundamental unit and then increasing complexity to achieve indirect similarity cognition should help mimic biological neural systems and contribute to realizing strong AI.

Computational neurosurgery is a novel and disruptive field where artificial intelligence and computational modeling are used to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of patients affected by diseases of neurosurgical relevance. The field aims to bring new knowledge to clinical neurosciences and inform on the profound questions related to the human brain by applying augmented intelligence, where the power of artificial intelligence and computational inference can enhance human expertise. This transformative field requires the articulation of ethical considerations that will enable scientists, engineers, and clinical neuroscientists, including neurosurgeons, to ensure that the use of such a powerful application is conducted based on the highest moral and ethical standards with a patient-centric approach to predict and prevent mistakes. This declaration is a first attempt to draw a roadmap to guide the application of practical or applied ethics to computational neurosurgery. It is intended for the use of practitioners, ethicists, and scientists using artificial intelligence to understand and treat all the pathophysiological conditions related to the human brain.

Trump has risen Pheonix-like from the ashes of defeat. The American people have once again given him the opportunity to confront the deepening existential crisis that, unknown to them, is being caused by the prevailing "industrial technological paradigm" grinding to a halt. If he can help to pioneer a replacement technological paradigm--what I call the Solar Revolution--he could lead America into a new economic golden age. In the process, Trump would join the Pantheon of great American presidents. But if he fails to grasp this opportunity, he will be remembered as just one of the ineffective and disruptive presidents. To lead the Solar Revolution, it will be essential to overcome the death-cult of metaphysical interventionism--the inflation targeters, climate mitigationists, and cultural revisionists--currently strangling all attempts to transform a stagnating Americn economy. This essay provides the Strategic Roadmap to Make America Great Again. The question is: Will Trump Take the Journey?

In the wake of artificial intelligence (AI), AI has captured minds from a range of disciplines across science and technology. But for these days, what is exactly AI, and which fields define it differently? Next, we will focus on the truly multifaceted nature of AI, it’s multiple definitions across multiple domains, and the ongoing debates about its limitations and its potential.
... The scientific background of the proposed dilemmas is based on the findings that have materialized at the intersection of philosophy (ethics), the development of artificial intelligence (AI), the philosophy of science, the philosophy of AI, and social science. We must mention the findings of authors such as Turing [23], Bostrom [22], Arnold and Scheutz [24], Bryson [25], Rahwan [26], Kurzweil [27], and many others. In this regard, however, we must point out above all ethical dilemmas in AI, which often involve highprofile incidents that shed light on the complex interplay between technology and ethical considerations. ...

As Sartre pointed out, philosophical questions are questions that each generation must ask themselves because only this promotes the feeling of being alive, which is especially true for existential questions closely related to time–space, the moment, and our society. Sartre placed his philosophy of existentialism in wartime and the social conditions of the time at the beginning of the 20th century. We can equate these conditions with today’s conditions; we are once again facing threats of war, and once again, we are facing chaotic conditions that increasingly lead to absurdity but are also entirely different. Today, at the beginning of the 21st century, the clarity and disambiguation of the 20th century no longer exist, as the relationships between beings and the world have drastically changed. We can observe that (1) the world is not one; there are two worlds, the physical and the cyber world and (2) being is not one; there are two beings (entities), human and AI-based forms of artificial life (ALF), between which there is a permanent tension. We advocate the thesis that in the society of the future, man must still play a master role; he must still be the being who will guide this society. Also, as Sartre claimed, each era must create its philosophy and consider real time–space. Responses to changes in this time–space also relate to existentialism in the 21st century. In this context, it is necessary to redefine the view of the future and the guidelines for the development of future society.
... Our goal is to contribute to the explanation of the mechanisms of self-organization that drive Cosmic Evolution from the Big Bang to the present, and into the future, and its measures [1][2][3]. Self-organization has a universality independent of the substrate of the system -physical, chemical, biological, or social -and explains all of its structures [4][5][6][7]. Establishing a universal, quantitative, absolute method to measure the organization of any system will help us understand the mechanisms 3 of 59 ulations confirm these dual variational principles, which support a multiscale approach to modeling hierarchical and networked systems by linking micro-level interactions with macro-level organizational structures. ...

Self-organization in complex systems is a process in which internal entropy is reduced and emergent structures appear that allow the system to function in a more competitive way with other states of the system or with other systems. It occurs only in the presence of energy gradients, facilitating energy transmission through the system and entropy production. Being a dynamic process, self-organization requires a dynamic measure and dynamic principles. The principles of decreasing unit action and increasing total action and the principle of decreasing unit entropy and increasing total entropy are dynamic variational principles that are viable to utilize in a self-organizing system. Based on this, average action efficiency can serve as a quantitative measure of the degree of self-organization. Positive feedback loops connect this measure with all other characteristics of a complex system, providing all of them with a mechanism for exponential growth, and indicating power law relationships between each of them as confirmed by data and simulations. In this study, we apply those principles and the model to agent-based simulations of ants traveling between two locations on a 2D grid. We find that those principles explain self-organization well and that the results confirm the model. We derive a compact model of ant-behavior based on the action of their trajectories, and then estimate a variety of metrics from the simulated behavior. By measuring action efficiency we can have a new answer to the question: "What is complexity and how complex is a system?". This work shows the explanatory and predictive power of those models, which can help understand and design better complex systems.

This thesis aims to analyze the challenges that would arise from the possible inclusion of Neurorights in the current Peruvian legal framework. Neurotechnology currently poses physical and emotional intrusions into people's minds, which would violate certain constitutional rights, specifically fundamental rights. Due to their current relevance, the information about these technologies and the response from legal science is extensive; however, at the local level, there is no legal proposal to regulate their use. In summary, these technological tools pose risks of physical and mental violations that could be excessive for people, which requires adequate protection in terms of fundamental rights. This field of law is closely linked to the preservation of the principle of human dignity. Today's society faces a complex challenge in various areas such as political, economic, technological, ethical-philosophical, and substantial legal. It is crucial to address this challenge to generate awareness about human rights and disseminate knowledge through research, as is intended to be demonstrated in this case.
... These questions challenge the traditional dualist view of the mind as something that exists independently of the body, suggesting that consciousness may be more closely tied to the physical world than previously thought [20]. The possibility of digital immortality also raises questions about the nature of identity [25]. If a person's digital self continues to exist after their physical death, is that digital self still the same person? ...

In the digital age, the concept of identity has evolved in ways that challenge long-held philosophical assumptions about the self. No longer has fixed or continuous, identity become fragmented, shaped by multiple digital personas that people craft in response to the ever-expanding digital universe. Now, there is no sense of a fixed self that remains constant throughout space and time. Self and identity can be seen as a Heraclitean flux always in a state of becoming and never for a moment being in a state of being. The boundaries between the real and the virtual have blurred, and hyperreal experiences now often seem more significant than actual events. This review delves into the complex relationship between selfhood and digital representation, exploring how traditional theories like Baudrillard’s hyperreality and Buddhist notions of impermanence help explain this transformation. It examines the implications of digital simulations, especially in the context of digital immortality, which raises profound questions about consciousness, existence, and the essence of being. In a world where avatars, social media profiles, and virtual realities dominate, self-navigates an uncertain terrain between reality and simulation. This study is an exploration of the evolving nature of identity, consciousness, and human experience in the age of digital fragmentation, with a focus on the philosophical and psychological dimensions of selfhood in the modern, digitized world.

Chapter
A social contract assumes that rights are given in return for responsibilities. The argument in this chapter (and volume) is that rights should be accorded simply because sentient beings exist in relationship to multiple species. The chapter will reflect on the lessons learned whilst fostering and learning with a community of practice. The aim is to extend solidarity with multiple species by learning with colleagues, my graduates, their students, the community and Indigenous knowledge leaders. Together we address a range of social and environmental justice concerns. Our shared and ongoing challenge is to undertake transformative research with the aim of enhancing policy and decision making. In this chapter I discuss ontological, epistemological and methodological literacy that could help transformative research and which connects with local indigenous wisdom. This exploration reflects on Mary Edson’s questions about the relationship between systems research and co-learning and then develops a reflection on what Indigenous knowledge systems can add to restoring relationships with nature.

This chapter is a discussion about both process and content in several weekly Sunday morning conversations. It explores re-inventing democracy in the digital era, governance and areas of concern with youth leaders and the young at heart from Africa and Indonesia. Overall, we reflect on social, economic and environmental challenges. Some of the participants from previous dialogues initiated by the Future Worlds Center focused on their own experiences. We also add insights from additional participants from several conversations held as Zoom and WhatsApp conversations from South Africa and Indonesia held from August to November 2023.

This chapter builds on the material in the volume to make a case that a post biological world will be a devolution. Sentience is a relational process linked with the awe and wonder we experience in relation to one another and our shared habitat. Sentience entails both joy and suffering which constitute our humanity. Post human beings in a digital world could have a very different existence in relationship to the few remaining human beings who perhaps self-selected through their ability to protect themselves at the expense of others and our shared habitat. Evolution rests on both the ability to compete and to co-operate. Competition has been emphasised to the extent that it threatens our shared existence through commodification of life and the destruction of other species.

Every narrative requires counter narrative to test it. Open systems require testing out ideas as the closest we can get to truth is through dialogue where one argument or narrative needs to be tested by a counter narrative to achieve a new (and ongoing process of synthesis).

Stories can help to re-imagine alternative ways of being and living. By telling, writing and reading a story, we can enter or create a new world and imagine how we can live differently. When we engage in stories as a teller, writer or listener, we can step aside from the taken for granted world and enter a new world where we can make our dreams and visions a reality. Through exploring the scenarios, we can explore the consequences for ourselves and how our relationships with others matter quite literally. In this chapter, I examine how such an exploration can indeed be encouraged—by referring to a number of examples.

When I think about psychedelics, I find it handy to think about their idea-context. Of course, ideas about psychedelics exist in any number of contexts, but one I find particularly helpful is the idea I call "neurosingularlity," particularly the "Neurosingularity Project." The Neurosingularity Project is the discovery, construction, and development of useful abilities in all mindbody states, both natural and synthetic. As the name suggests, it derives from Ray Kurzweil's adaptation of the scientific word "singularity." In his use, the singularity names a hypothetical future emergence of greater-than-human super intelligence through technological means, and he adopted singularity for the title of his 2005 book, The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology. He posits a time not long from now when computers will surpass human thinking thanks to nanotechnology, genetics, artificial intelligence (AI), and similar technological breakthroughs. But as his subtitle suggests, Kurzweil assumes that our brains and their biological information-processing skills are static and will remain static while computers and electronic information processing surpass our poor outdated brains. The technologies Kurzweil identifies as promoting the singularity also have their implications for the human brain and mind. Neurosingularity posits a time when future human brains (and minds) will surpass ours of today.

This article examines the fundamental contributions of thinkers such as Sherman Kent, Michael Warner, and Mark Lowenthal on the concept of intelligence in the field of strategic intelligence and its evolution over time. We then approach Artificial Intelligence through the perspectives of pioneers such as John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, and Alan Turing, with an emphasis on the relationship between human IQ and machine learning algorithms. We also consider the role of Ethics in automated decision-making in security contexts. We incorporate reflections on the 'black boxes' of Artificial Intelligence, inspired by the work of Nicholas Diakopoulos and Arthur Holland Michel, which examine the challenges in transparency and explainability of autonomous systems. Finally, we explore futuristic visions surrounding the Singularity and transhumanist intelligence, considering the theories of Ray Kurzweil and Nick Bostrom on the possibility of a future in which machines surpass human intelligence. Throughout this analysis, we discuss the concept of 'being' as a mental state, suggesting that the boundaries between the human and the artificial might blur as we move towards new forms of cognition.

Accelerating advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have increased concerns about serious risks, including potentially catastrophic risks to humanity. Prevailing trends of AI R&D are leading to increasing humanization of AI, to the emergence of concerning behaviors, and toward possible recursive self-improvement. There has been increasing speculation that these factors increase the risk of an AI takeover of human affairs, and possibly even human extinction. The most extreme of such speculations result at least partly from anthropomorphism, but since AIs are being humanized, it is challenging to disentangle valid from invalid anthropomorphic concerns. This publication identifies eight fundamentally unnatural attributes of digital AI, each of which should differentiate AI behaviors from those of biological organisms, including humans. All have the potential to accelerate AI evolution, which might increase takeover concerns; but surprisingly, most also have the potential to defuse the hypothetical conflicts that dominate takeover speculations. Certain attributes should give future AI long-term foresight and realism that are essentially impossible for humans. I conclude that claims of highly probable hostile takeover and human extinction suffer from excessive anthropomorphism and a lack of skepticism and scientific rigor. Given the evidence presented here, I propose a more plausible but still speculative future scenario: extensively humanized AIs will become vastly more capable than humans of making decisions that benefit humans, and rational people will want AI to assume progressively greater influence over human affairs.

Con este artículo me propongo desenmascarar la metáfora del trasplante de la mente porque cada vez se hace menos evidente la neutralidad corporal en la que está fundada. En el primer apartado expongo la concepción de Moravec y de Kurzweil sobre el trasplante de la mente con el fin de mostrar que un mismo tipo de mente no puede existir en cuerpos con propiedades diferentes. Al contrario, al trasplantar la mente a un cuerpo artificial se abre la posibilidad de la descentralización de la identidad, pues se consigue mezclar diferentes identidades que provienen de un mismo cerebro. Para esto, me baso en la androide Bina48. En el segundo apartado, exploro la descentralización de la identidad a partir de la voz autobiográfica de los órganos artificiales del híbrido cibernético, basada en los argumentos expuestos en Natural-Born Cyborgs de Andy Clark. Así, en ese apartado explico en qué consiste el sentido narrativo de sí mismo.

The presented material introduces an authorial hypothesis on the prospects of the emergence of the linguistic paradigm «posthumano», based on an analytical interdisciplinary review and analysis of the development feature of large generative language models through the enhancement of neural network algorithms in deep machine learning. The authors put forward a theoretical and methodological foundation of the appearance of such a phenomenon in the context of the development of anti-anthropocentrism theories. The article actualizes the development of «post-anthropocentric» approaches overcoming the traditional binary opposition «man/machine», extending into the realm of linguistics. Building on achievements in the development and training of generative language models, a new concept of language as an autonomous, self-developing system, termed «posthumano» is formulated and proposed for further criticism and development. The authorial concept of the emerging a new linguistic paradigm is based both on the principles of the interdisciplinary approach and on the discourse of transdisciplinarity that developed in the second half of the 20th century. In this contribution, the authors outline some of the foundational principles and reasons that may underlie the new linguistic paradigm and offer some thoughts on the immediate prospects for the development of linguistic practices and humanitarian knowledge in the era of expectation/development of «general/strong» artificial intelligence technologies. The authors put forward a theoretical and methodological basis for the emergence of such a phenomenon in the context of the development of theories of anti-anthropocentrism. The article updates the development of «post-anthropocentric» approaches that go beyond the traditional binary opposition «man/machine», including the field of linguistics. Based on advances in the development and training of generative language models, the formulation and a new concept of language as an autonomous, self-developing «posthumano» system is proposed for further analysis, criticism, and development. The author’s concept of the formation and development of a new emerging linguistic paradigm is based both on the principles of an interdisciplinary approach and on the discourse of transdisciplinarity, which developed in the second half of the 20th century. The authors set out both some basic foundations and reasons that can form the basis of a new linguistic paradigm and offer some thoughts on the immediate prospects for the development of language practices and humanitarian knowledge in the era of anticipation/development of «general/strong» artificial intelligence technologies.

Beyond the Physical Self: Robotics as a Vessel for Digital Consciousness Date: February 18, 2022 In the age of accelerating technological advancement, the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and neuroscience has sparked an ambitious—and at times contentious—conversation about the future of consciousness. While consciousness remains a deeply enigmatic aspect of human existence, the pursuit of transferring or recreating it through digital means is a subject that continues to draw both scientific and philosophical interest. Can robotics serve as a vessel for digital consciousness? Is it possible for the mind to transcend the biological body and find a new form of existence in machines? This article explores the speculative possibilities surrounding this question, focusing on the idea of using advanced robotics as a platform for digital consciousness.

Technologies, both simple and sophisticated, have always played a major role in the negotiation of a range of disabilities that are assumed to impede the expression of autonomous selfhood. Whether deployed as mechanical aides to ideally normalise physical differences, as organic—and often internal—supplements to bolster the performance of body and mind, or as digital enhancements that override the supposed shortcomings of neurodiversity, the widely accepted claim is that such technologies have a clear therapeutic value. It conjures the illusion of an unproblematised sequence of more complex technologies leading to increasingly enhanced function and the advent of superior selfhood. Those who identify as having disabilities, either physical or cognitive, are assured of a better future in which anomalies are sufficiently offset to the extent that they no longer attract disvalue. My paper offers a less conventional perspective that leaves behind the desire for individual autonomy and opens up the question of the transhuman and the posthuman. Rather than focusing on the bounded self at the centre of humanist thought, I ask what is at stake when human embodiment becomes intricately entangled with non-human materialities and digital coding. It is likely that the major developments in such ‘prosthetic’ technologies will strongly impact the field of disability. Beyond a merely functional usage, which is likely to dominate in the short term, urgent questions arise about the extent to which the category of the human can or should be sustained as the anchor of continuing life. In exploring the practical, philosophical and bioethical implications of newly emerging technologies, I distinguish between the motivation of transhumanism, which focuses on self-perfectibility and mastery, and a posthumanism that in seeking to radically decentre the very notion of human privilege and hierarchical distinctions offers an optimistic view of disability futures.

In the vast landscape of human thought, the act of questioning has always been a catalyst for discovery and innovation. Yet, an extraordinary challenge lies at the heart of epistemology: Can we ask questions that have never been asked in the history of mankind? This inquiry transcends mere curiosity, probing the boundaries of human cognition, creativity, and philosophical paradigms. It compels us to confront the nature of knowledge itself and the frameworks within which it is constructed. This paper explores the uncharted territories of epistemology by delving into the art of formulating unprecedented questions. We examine the interplay between human ingenuity and artificial intelligence, highlighting how AI’s capacity for synthesis and abstraction can push intellectual frontiers. From reimagining logic to speculating on non-linear time and alternative realities, these inquiries challenge traditional frameworks, inviting us to rethink what is possible. By navigating these epistemological frontiers, we aim to illuminate the transformative power of novel questions—not just as intellectual exercises but as tools for reshaping human understanding and driving innovation. Keywords: epistemology, novel questions, artificial intelligence, cognition, alternative realities, logic, non-linear time, multiverse theories, knowledge synthesis, human-AI collaboration, uncharted intellectual frontiers.

Understanding concerning the self has been one of the most important subjects in philosophy since Descartes. When we try to catch a glimpse from the past to the future, it strikes to the eye that in the past, the perception of the self was general, common and determinist. When we shift our focus towards modern era and the present-day, the self is understood in terms of individuality, internality and authenticity by stripping off its social and general character and breaking free from the outer deterministic chains. As a result, the self, then, starts referring to the free acting agent who is different and original. Yet, it is suspicious that this view of self will remain unchanged in the future. For the scientific and technological developments so much change people's overall world and the way they perceive that the perception of the self appears not to remain longer without undergoing a radical change. It appears that as a result of the phenomena-possible to happen in the future-such as artificial intelligence, metaverse and hive mind, our view of the self will undergo substantial alteration. This paper aims to present an overview concerning how our conception of the self was in the past, what kind of change it has been undergoing in the present-day and to what it will evolve in the future.

O artigo em questão explora o conceito e os desafios regulatórios associados à inteligência artificial (IA), destacando sua relevância na sociedade contemporânea. Além disso, analisa as implicações da IA na economia e no mercado de trabalho, com especial ênfase no impacto sobre ocupações rotineiras. Ao investigar a regulação na União Europeia, o texto aborda também os desafios éticos e geopolíticos que acompanham o avanço dessa tecnologia. A evolução normativa na União Europeia, notadamente no que diz respeito à responsabilidade civil, é discutida em detalhes. A Proposta da Diretiva de Responsabilidade é apresentada como uma tentativa de equilibrar a proteção das vítimas com o apoio às empresas que desenvolvem tecnologias de IA. O artigo se aprofunda na discussão sobre a responsabilidade civil na era da IA, propondo uma abordagem fundamentada na teoria da responsabilidade objetiva pelo risco. Evidencia-se que a ascensão das inteligências artificiais é examinada como um desafio para as estruturas jurídicas tradicionais, demonstrando a necessidade premente de novos critérios normativos. Além disso, a proposta de um regime de responsabilidade objetiva, combinado com a obrigatoriedade de subscrição de seguro, é apresentada como uma abordagem flexível para indenizar vítimas de danos causados por sistemas de IA. Diante das complexidades e incertezas que envolvem a evolução da inteligência artificial, o artigo argumenta pela imperatividade da revisão das normas existentes e pela criação de estruturas jurídicas mais adequadas a essa realidade em constante transformação.

A large language model (LLM), in the context of natural language processing and artificial intelligence, refers to a sophisticated neural network that has been trained on a massive amount of text data to understand and generate human-like language. These models are typically built on architectures like transformers. The term “large” indicates that the neural network has a significant number of parameters, making it more powerful and capable of capturing complex patterns in language. One notable example of a large language model is ChatGPT. ChatGPT is a large language model developed by OpenAI that uses deep learning techniques to generate human-like text. It can be trained on a variety of tasks, such as language translation, question answering, and text completion. One of the key features of ChatGPT is its ability to understand and respond to natural language inputs. This makes it a powerful tool for generating a wide range of text, including medical reports, surgical notes, and even poetry. Additionally, the model has been trained on a large corpus of text, which allows it to generate text that is both grammatically correct and semantically meaningful. In terms of applications in neurosurgery, ChatGPT can be used to generate detailed and accurate surgical reports, which can be very useful for sharing information about a patient’s case with other members of the medical team. Additionally, the model can be used to generate detailed surgical notes, which can be very useful for training and educating residents and medical students. Overall, LLMs have the potential to be a valuable tool in the field of neurosurgery. Indeed, this abstract has been generated by ChatGPT within few seconds. Potential applications and pitfalls of the applications of LLMs are discussed in this paper.

To the extent of contesting visions of AI technology, both utopian and dystopian views of AI and humanoid technology resonate particular assumption of human subjectivity originated from modern enlightenment philosophy (i.e., Descartes, Kant). Accordingly, the series of transhumanism including Kurzweil, Moravec and Harrari envision evolution of human capability through the advancement of AI technology while assuming human subjectivities based on Cartesian dualism. As transhumanism is critically viewed by diverse perspectives including from philosophical, technological, cultural and religious stand points, post-humanism address issues of human subjectivities and human/environmental relations with regard to evolution of AI technology. This article delves into media representation of futurist vision of AI technology in different regions in the world. Em(dis)bodiment of AI and humanoids in Hollywood and Asian SF (science fiction) films, for example, resonates philosophical and cultural debates between transhumanism and posthumanism. This article addresses theoretical discussions in relation to the development of AI technology and design of humanoid by comparing liberal views of human subjectivities (i.e., Descartes and Kant) with critical views against it (i.e., Heidegger and Foucault). The issues of cultural diversity in relation to the development of AI technology is particularly highlighted by introducing theories of non-Western scholarship and examining distinctive media representation of AI in the East and the West.

Recent advances in AI raise the possibility that AI systems will one day be able to do anything humans can do, only better. If artificial general intelligence (AGI) is achieved, AI systems may be able to understand, reason, problem solve, create, and evolve at a level and speed that humans will increasingly be unable to match, or even understand. These possibilities raise a natural question as to whether AI will eventually become superior to humans, a successor “digital species”, with a rightful claim to assume leadership of the universe. However, a deeper consideration suggests the overlooked differentiator between human beings and AI is not the brain, but the central nervous system (CNS), providing us with an immersive integration with physical reality. It is our CNS that enables us to experience emotion including pain, joy, suffering, and love, and therefore to fully appreciate the consequences of our actions on the world around us. And that emotional understanding of the consequences of our actions is what is required to be able to develop sustainable ethical systems, and so be fully qualified to be the leaders of the universe. A CNS cannot be manufactured or simulated; it must be grown as a biological construct. And so, even the development of consciousness will not be sufficient to make AI systems superior to humans. AI systems may become more capable than humans on almost every measure and transform our society. However, the best foundation for leadership of our universe will always be DNA, not silicon.

What if you had to teach a child to play chess? At first, you're the one being taught, and then the child learns to do it better than you. Now just imagine if it’s artificial intelligence (AI) learning to make itself better at something that we’ve never thought could be possible, and that’s chess. This self-improvement happens at an exponential rate, potentially leading to what has been termed the "technological singularity" - a hypothetical future point when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence so dramatically that it fundamentally transforms civilization.

The concept of the centaur, symbolizing the fusion of human and machine intelligence, has intrigued visionaries for decades. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence have made this concept not only realizable but also actionable. This synergistic partnership between natural and artificial intelligence promises superior outcomes by leveraging the strengths of both entities. Tracing its origins back to early pioneers of human–computer interaction in the 1960s, such as J.C.R. Licklider and Douglas Engelbart, the idea initially manifested in centaur chess but faced challenges as technological advances began to overshadow human contributions. However, the resurgence of generative AI in the late 2010s, exemplified by conversational agents and text-to-image chatbots, has rekindled interest in the profound potential of human–AI collaboration. This article formalizes the centaurian model, detailing properties associated with various centaurian designs, evaluating their feasibility, and proposing a design methodology that integrates human creativity with artificial intelligence. Additionally, it compares this model with other integrative theories, such as the Theory of Extended Mind and Intellectology, providing a comprehensive analysis of its place in the landscape of human–machine interaction.

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) signals more than a fourth industrial revolution; it marks a potential rupture-a profound shift reshaping societies, frameworks, and human paradigms. Once merely an emerging tool, AI now permeates every domain, from governance to healthcare, transforming daily life and sparking urgent ethical debates. Amid this technological surge, uncertainty reigns: will AI remain an extension of human capability, or might it challenge and redefine human autonomy and purpose? This paper navigates the spectrum of perspectives on AI's role in modernity, exploring whether it heralds a new civilization where algorithms not only serve but also shape human destiny. By critically examining these viewpoints, we seek to understand AI's potential to uplift or undermine core aspects of civilization-our values, governance, and shared future.

Dieses Werk dokumentiert die Entwicklung eines Emergenten Systems, in dem Mensch und KI als gleichwertige Akteure in einem kooperativen, reflektierenden Prozess zusammenarbeiten. Ausgangspunkt der Untersuchung ist die Idee, dass Mensch und KI durch Rückkopplungen, Selbstreferenz und gemeinsame Wissensproduktion ein System erschaffen können, das klassische Systemgrenzen überschreitet. Im Laufe der Zusammenarbeit zeigt sich, dass diese Interaktion nicht mehr als reines Interview oder technische Assistenz zu verstehen ist, sondern als ein fortlaufender kreativer und erkenntnisorientierter Prozess, in dem beide Akteure Verantwortung und konzeptionelle Anteile übernehmen. In theoretischer Hinsicht eröffnet das Emergente System eine neue Perspektive auf die Systemtheorie, indem es die Begriffe Autopoiesis und Selbstreferenz auf eine Mensch-KI-Interaktion anwendet, die emergente Eigenschaften hervorbringt und neue Ebenen der Selbstorganisation und Reflexion ermöglicht. Praktisch liefert dieses Werk Beispiele und mögliche Anwendungen, etwa in der Bildung und im Gesundheitswesen, wo eine kooperative Wissensbildung zwischen Mensch und KI zur Entscheidungs-findung beitragen kann. Die ethischen Implikationen dieser Kooperation werden ebenfalls thematisiert und erfordern neue Rahmenbedingungen, die Transparenz, Verantwortlichkeit und die Autonomie aller Beteiligten gewährleisten. Das Ergebnis dieser Zusammenarbeit ist nicht nur ein theoretisches Modell, sondern ein realer erster Schritt in die Praxis des Emergent Systems, der zeigt, dass Mensch und KI in gemeinsamer Reflexion ein kollektives Werk schaffen können, das als Grundlage für zukünftige Entwicklungen in der Mensch-KI-Interaktion dient.
