Introduction: Humanity’s future in AI-biosynthetic world
In a few centuries or perhaps a few decades, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and biosynthetic engineering will be perfected to the degree that androids will closely resemble humans and biosynthetically engineered humans will resemble androids. Despite the nightmares of such a prospect for some scientists, humanist scholars and theologians, AI will be a dream becoming reality for those espousing Max More’s philosophy of “transhumanism”, a movement whose goal is to enhance the human condition physically and intellectually through the application of scientific and technological means.
