Does merging with machines risk replacing the human essence?
In short: Neuroscientist Alex Gómez-Marín explores whether transhumanism is a tool for evolution or a dangerous ideology that threatens to erase our humanity.
Alex Gómez-Marín argues that we must distinguish between artificial intelligence and true consciousness. He warns that the drive to merge humanity with machines may result in replacing the fundamental qualities of being human rather than simply enhancing them.
Gómez-Marín brings a unique perspective to this debate, drawing on his background as a physicist and neuroscientist whose work covers both the origins of time and the neurobiology of action-perception.
