"Cyborgs against the rest of humanity": this is the chilling prediction for our future according to scientists - voila! technology

If we believe the scientific predictions, in the distant future the human race as it is today will have to fight for its life against advanced robots.

Dr. Anders Sandberg has looked at what the future holds for us when our species reaches the age of one million - and he has some chilling predictions.

Dr. Sandberg, from the "Future of Humanity Institute" at the University of Oxford, claims that most species will be extinct by then, and when we reach his dark future - In 700,000 years - robots will rule the world and the last surviving people will remain in hiding - just like the plot of the movie "The Terminator".

Dr. Sandberg wrote for The Conversation: "Most species are transient.

They become extinct, branch into new species, or change over time due to random mutations and environmental changes.

A typical mammal species like us can be expected to exist for a million years.

Modern humans, Homo sapiens, have existed for about 300,000 years, so what will happen if we reach the age of a million years?"

Dr. Sandberg speculates that the human race may split into two different factions, with one living with technology and scientific progress - and the other choosing a more natural way of life. He claims that the split will be more radical after hundreds of thousands of years, until the two factions no longer look alike. One Of them, those enhanced by technology, will be stronger and more robotic than the natural man. He explained: "My job is to explore the possibilities and I think the most likely case is that our species will split into several species.

There are many among us who want to improve the human condition - slowing down and eliminating aging, improving intelligence and changing the body - which could lead to the creation of new species."

He added: "Even if these technologies become as cheap and widespread as mobile phones, some people will refuse to adopt them on principle and will build a self-image of 'normal' humans. In the long run, we should expect the people who are more upgraded from generation to generation to become one 'post-human' species Or rather, he is essentially different from the people who will distance themselves from technology and declare themselves to be 'real people'."

He is not the first to warn of this future.

"In the not too distant future computers will be implanted in us"

Dr. Sandberg added that one day technology will likely be so advanced that the human brain can be scanned and recreated on a computer, allowing people to live completely digital lives. He said this could be a good thing for our planet as they would be very "resource efficient" and would only need sunlight and "material some rock to make chips" - but it could lead to the rise of an AI-powered super race.

The expert added: "Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly now. While there are deep uncertainties and disagreements about when or if it will become more conscious, artificial general intelligence will arrive, a significant number of experts think it is possible within a hundred years or even sooner. If it can happen - It will probably happen. At some point, we will likely have a planet where humans have been largely replaced by software intelligence or artificial intelligence—or some combination of the two. Eventually, it seems likely that most minds will become software. Research suggests that computers will soon become much more energy efficient than they are now. Software brains also won't need to eat or drink—inefficient ways of obtaining energy—and they can also conserve electricity. This means we should be able to achieve much more than artificial brains per kilogram of material and watt of energy solar, than from human brains in the distant future - and because they are able to evolve quickly,We should expect them to change enormously over time from our current style of consciousness."
