EARLY TRANSHUMANISM IDEAS AND THEIR EXTENSIONS REGARDING EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY AND OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Abstract

This paper presents some very early transhumanism ideas and their relationship with the development of technology and how they almost virtually became reality in our days. Writers like Samuel Butler, Aldous Huxley or George Orwell have long time ago predicted some of the issues humankind will face and some of them also even suggested possible solutions to these future problems which nowadays have become reality. This paper also makes predictions about and presents extensions of these early transhumanism ideas, related to the very recent evolutions in technology and artificial intelligence, but it also presents related dangers and possible future evolutions and solutions to these actual problems, as envisioned by the author of this paper .
