Anthropologist Elena Sudarikova, speaker of “Discover something new” in the Polytechnic Museum’s popular science conference room, believes that supercyborgs may emerge in the next 200 years, in which sense organs will be completely replaced by technical devices. The newspaper reports “News”.
According to Sudarikova, such a development scenario of events can be realized if the current pace of scientific and technological progress and trends in the development of global society continue.
The scientist believes that with the development of technology, humanity is weakening. Because people don’t move much, their joints are bad. Constant work at the computer leads to visual impairment. Sudarikova said that during the complexity of culture in general, a person loses many important physical characteristics. But people have learned to use artificial materials such as eyepieces, dental implants, 3D-printed heart valves to bring them back to themselves.
But the anthropologist asked, if we change the person entirely and leave only the brain the same, will he still be a human or will he no longer be? Such an organism will not be able to use the receptors and receive information from the outside with the help of the senses. As a result, the brain will have to switch to digital mechanisms, and this can no longer be considered human thought.
Sudarikova noted that the described scenario is not the only possible one, because the development of humanity is influenced by a large number of unpredictable natural, economic and political factors.
It was previously reported that engineers. optimized Cyborg cockroach movement with the help of artificial intelligence.
