We create technology to advance ourselves. Technology is not some alien invasion from Mars. We created to overcome limitations that we have, our own problems with our organs. And we come up with technology that moves us past it. The AIs are going to go way past what humans can do. But that's really not the way I look at it. So we're going to be able to do our jobs because it's going to be us and AI together.
Would you want to live forever? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and author, inventor, and futurist Ray Kurzweil discuss immortality, longevity escape velocity, the singularity, and the future of technology. What will life be like in 10 years?
