Human 2.0: Want to be a god?

from The Zach Drew Show · host Zach Drew

The brain dilemma - to upgrade or not to upgrade; that is the question.  There are two streams of thought: either AI in machines will one day completely take over, or humans will merge with AI. It will probably be a mixture of both.  We know that AI machines are already starting to take over. A 2013 study from the University of Oxford estimates that 47 percent of total US employment is at risk of being replaced by AI.  These at-risk jobs include everything from fast food cashiers, to journalists, and even  politicians.  Elon Musk believes that the “merge” option is the safest route for humans.  This is clearly the next step for major tech companies like Google and Facebook, which are both working on machine/brain interfaces that will connect our minds to their devices.  The type of interface being created by google is projected to end education as we know it. We won’t have to memorize information because the device will read our thoughts and give us the answers.  A recent poll shows that in 2019, 48 percent of people would choose to be “upgraded” today, if they could. There will come a day when people will not trust the services of a medical provider or a government employee for example, if they have not been “upgraded.”  Follow the Zach Drew show at ZachDrewShow.com Please consider partnering with us!  Visit www.zachdrewshow.com/donate/ You can also donate to us at: IGBY PO box 797 Decatur IL 62525
