Topic: Ai, the mind, and you
The age of AI is upon us. Artificial intelligence is not only becoming embedded in devices that we employ; some envision a future in which it becomes engrafted into our very bodies, augmenting our cognitive capacities beyond normal human limits. Others envision the possibility of a natural "immortality" in which our individual psychology - our beliefs, desires, goals, wishes, temperaments, etc - be "read off" our brains via super-powerful scanning devices and uploaded to the Cloud. This, enthusiasts say, would mean that we become liberated from our aging- and disease-prone bodies, perhaps getting re-connected to more durable robotic bodies that we can replace as needed.
