Age of the Machine Human: The Choice Rests in the Hands of the Creator

Evolution is a continuous process which enabled humans to act and think in a certain manner. The cognitive evolution of man enabled him to develop tools to assist his survival. The advent of the technological progression perceived this development in form of “machine learning” and “artificial intelligence.” The paper examines the nature of artificial intelligence and its impact on the lives of humans. The paper, attempts to contemplate the difference between the humans that segregate them from AI. Overtime the lines between the two have blurred. As the machine becomes more human-like, the human began to emulate attributes of machines. There is, however, a sense of insecurity which has plagued the human due to the advent of AI, which is highlighted in the paper. Lastly, the paper identifies the role that a human plays in this “age of plasticity” and the co-dependant relation of the human-machine and the human.
