Recently, I just read a book called "A Day in the Brain". The author analyzes the daily life of ordinary people, so as to introduce to readers how much the current development of biotechnology and brain science has learned about human consciousness. However, in the end, I only saw the full text: countless scientists want to link the electrical signals in the brain with consciousness, but have not been able to find a really clear direction.
However, "Transcendental Hackers" also mentioned this many times: people are still confused about where consciousness comes from, but they can convert consciousness into electrical signals and even upload them to the Internet. There is actually a problem here. Since people can’t know where consciousness came from, how to prove that this part of the data saved is this person? The same is true for the reason that makes everyone suspicious and fearful in the film. People can't believe that the AI that has been out of control in front of them is the best friend of the past. In order to clarify the pros and cons, the director can add the plot of AI controlling human thinking through nano-robots, but if it is combined with the actual situation, the word consciousness is no different from the word "eating" for AI. Is he really able to To generate and control things beyond the level of human consciousness, if so, will multiple artificial intelligences with superhuman consciousness form an independent society on the Internet and control humans in another way, will they compete for resources, will there be wars, What role humans play in this is elusive.
It is true that this is a sci-fi movie in real life today, but all of us can actually guess that as long as there is no end of the world, human technology will inevitably develop to this level. At the moment when this technology is announced, it will inevitably be accompanied by disputes around the world. Even if it is a medical technology used to cure Alzheimer's disease, who can guarantee that it will not be used in the field of improving the human brain. By then, there may really be "superman", physical class division, etc.~
But the torrent of history can only be complied with and cannot be resisted. I hope we will not reach the point where the world will lose power.
