Artificial intelligence and the question of being

Abstract: Technology is part of all life forms. This does not mean that all technology is beneficial for life. Technological evolution in the human sphere holds promises to attain the status of singularity. This identifies the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution. What is at stake includes the emergence of intelligent and conscious super computers and robots, conscious materialism, the possibility of human immortality and the emergence of the trans-human. In the ambit of a new artificial environment in which humans wi… Show more

“…This was followed by the introduction of electricity (Stage 2.0: 1870) and, later, the application of electronics and information technology (Stage 3.0: 1970) before the transition to advanced technology (Stage 4.0: 2011). This stage incorporates tools such as big data analytics, robotics, simulation, the Internet of Things (IOT), artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing (Du Toit, 2019; Cimini et al , 2020). IR 4.0 involves automation and smart sensors to enhance work conditions and boost productivity and quality (Drath and Horch, 2014).…”
