Promises of ‘immortality’ and a disease-free life have led many
individuals to long for the hope of artificial intelligence and what is
known as Singularity. It is essentially a merging of man and machine,
the development of a ‘new species’ — a ‘borg’ of sorts. The subject
recently made headlines when a major Russian scientist promised
Singularity to the wealthy elite and ruling class by 2045 through the 2045 program, with artificial bodies available as early as 2015.
On the surface it may sound enticing to those who are willing to
trust their new artificial brains and bodies hooked up to a massive
super computer that has control over their every action (through the
utilization of RFID-like chips).
