#48 Could humans and AI merge into an evolutionary individual?
from The Deep Dive Lab: Unraveling Materials Science · host Son Hoang
What if the next big step in evolution isn’t biological, but technological? In this episode, we dive into the bold idea that humans and AI could eventually merge into a single evolutionary individual. Drawing parallels with life’s past transitions—from single-celled organisms combining into complex life—we explore how increasing dependence on AI for memory, decision-making, and coordination could reshape what it means to be human. Could this partnership lead to greater resilience in a world of crises, or will it erode our autonomy?
