Abstract

The intersection of Transhumanism, Prognosis, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a topic that has captured the imagination of science fiction writers for years. In Dan Brown’s novel, Origin, he explores the idea that as AI evolves to the point of self-learning, the prospect of a posthuman world becomes increasingly plausible. Artificial intelligence has become ubiquitous, not only in technology but also in the way people think about the world. Machines are learning, and evolving, and are soon expected to surpass human intelligence. However, this pursuit of creating the ultimate AI raises ethical and moral concerns. The idea of a machine achieving sentience and surpassing human intelligence is a nightmare scenario for some who fear the rise of artificial intelligence. In his quest to create the ultimate AI, the protagonist in “Origin” has plunged into dangerous territory, pushing the limits of what is acceptable. The defining technology of the modern era is artificial intelligence, a force that is transforming every aspect of society from finance to healthcare to transportation. As AI continues to advance, people are becoming increasingly concerned about the ethical implications of creating machines that can think and reason like humans. Transhumanism, which aims to enhance human capabilities through the use of technology, is closely linked with the development of AI. The coalescence of man and machine is becoming a real possibility, and the future belongs to those who can control it. In conclusion, the intersection of transhumanism, prognosis, and AI raises important ethical and moral questions about the future of humanity. As we continue to develop AI, it is essential to consider the potential consequences of creating machines that can think and reason like humans. The quest for the ultimate AI is a double-edged sword, and we must be careful not to plunge too far into dangerous territory.

丹-布朗《起源》中超人类主义、预言和人工智能的交集
多年来,超人类主义、预言和人工智能(AI)的交集一直是吸引科幻作家想象力的话题。在丹-布朗(Dan Brown)的小说《起源》(Origin)中,他探讨了这样一个观点:随着人工智能进化到自我学习的程度,后人类世界的前景变得越来越可信。人工智能已经无处不在,不仅体现在技术领域,也体现在人们思考世界的方式上。机器在学习,在进化,预计很快就会超越人类智能。然而,这种对创造终极人工智能的追求引发了伦理道德方面的担忧。对于一些担心人工智能崛起的人来说,机器获得知觉并超越人类智能的想法是一种噩梦般的情景。在追求创造终极人工智能的过程中,《起源》中的主人公陷入了危险的境地,挑战了人们可以接受的极限。人工智能是当代的决定性技术,它正在改变社会的方方面面,从金融、医疗到交通。随着人工智能的不断进步,人们越来越关注创造能像人类一样思考和推理的机器所带来的伦理影响。超人类主义旨在通过利用技术提高人类的能力,它与人工智能的发展密切相关。人类与机器的融合正成为现实,而未来属于那些能够掌控它的人。总之,超人类主义、预言和人工智能的交叉提出了有关人类未来的重要伦理和道德问题。在我们继续发展人工智能的同时,必须考虑创造出能像人类一样思考和推理的机器可能带来的后果。对终极人工智能的追求是一把双刃剑,我们必须小心谨慎,不要在危险的领域走得太远。
