The expert also stressed that technology can allow a person to replace the body, but the intelligence itself will remain intact.
In an interview with Daily Star Online, Chris Middleton talked about how robots and artificial intelligence can help people live forever. He noted that most of the companies that are engaged in such developments believe that assistive technology should improve human life.
“It can be assumed that any company or government can use artificial intelligence and robotics to maximize benefits for a few people,” he said.
The expert also stressed that technology can allow a person to replace the body, but the intelligence itself will remain intact.
“In 50 or 100 years, will the human body be completely replaceable? I would not deny that,”Middleton said.
At the same time, he noted that, despite the opinion about the huge role of robotization and artificial intelligence in the future, these assumptions are only forecasts.
“I write about robotics and artificial intelligence, because this raises important questions about what kind of society we want or don’t want to see,” the expert concluded.
