Supersapiens, the Rise of the Mind
In the new film Supersapiens, writer-director Markus Mooslechner raises a core question: As artificial intelligence rapidly blurs the boundaries between man and machine, are we witnessing the rise of a new human species?
The film features scientists, philosophers, and neurohackers Nick Bostrom, Richard Dawkins, Hugo De Garis, Adam Gazzaley, Ben Goertzel, Sam Harris, Randal Koene, Alma Mendez, Tim Mullen, Joel Murphy, David Putrino, Conor Russomanno, Anders Sandberg, Susan Schneider, Mikey Siegel, Hannes Sjoblad, and Andy Walshe.
âHumanity is facing a turning point â the next evolution of the human mind,â notes Mooslechner. âWill this evolution be a hybrid of man and machine, where artificial intelligence forces the emergence of a new human species? Or will a wave of new technologists, who frame themselves as âconsciousness-hackers,â become the future torch-bearers, using technology not to replace the human mind, but rather awaken within it powers we have always possessed â enlightenment at the push of a button?â
Dear Mum: A Letter from the future
Dear Mum,
Weâve missed you over the ten long years since you passed away. You wanted me to write to you to tell you whatâs happened, so now in 2030 I am fulfilling that wish.
Autonomous Cars: The Ultimate Job Creator?
In our last film, we explored how the introduction of autonomous, self-driving cars is likely to kill a lot of jobs. Many millions of jobs, in fact. But is it short sighted to view self-driving vehicles as economic murderers? Is it possible that we got it totally wrong, and automated vehicles wonât be Grim Reapers â but rather the biggest job creators since the internet?
In this video series, the Galactic Public Archives takes bite-sized looks at a variety of terms, technologies, and ideas that are likely to be prominent in the future. Terms are regularly changing and being redefined with the passing of time. With constant breakthroughs and the development of new technology and other resources, we seek to define what these things are and how they will impact our future.
