According to reports, Elon Musk, known as the "Iron Man of Silicon Valley," once again spoke astonishingly at the World Government Summit (WGS) on February 13th: In the future, mankind needs to form a match with the machine to avoid being artificial. Intelligent elimination.
The vocabulary of Cyborg is a transliteration of English "Cyborg". It refers to the use of science and technology to control and transform the human body, thus making the human body more powerful. We may wish to use a more popular vocabulary to refer to the result of the "hybrid" human-machine hybrid - the semi-robot.
There is never a lack of semi-robots in science fiction. However, will humanity really move toward this path?
Reality
Take advantage of the power of machinery to break through the "cage" of the body
"I think for some time we may witness a closer integration of bio-intelligence and digital intelligence." Musk believes that the key to integration is the network bandwidth, which is the connection speed between the human brain and the digitized brain. He believes that higher bandwidth brain-computer sensors in the future can help create a combination of human and machine intelligence.
Aside from the threat posed by artificial intelligence to humans, human beings have deep-seated reasons for the paralysis of semi-robots.
One reality that has to be acknowledged is that the infinite desire of human beings is always limited by the fragile body. This is obvious: Bolt currently maintains a record of human races of 100 meters. It translates to 37.5 kilometers per hour, and even if Bolt himself can not run for an hour at the speed of 100 meters.
The evolution of human beings is relatively slow. May wish to use Moore's Law to illustrate this embarrassing situation: The number of components that can be accommodated on the integrated circuit will roughly double every 18-24 months, and the performance will also double. Correspondingly, most people's mobile phones will be replaced every other year and a half. Their functions are full of tricks. In this process, have you experienced the evolution of the human body? The answer is of course negative.
Not only the legs and the brain, the human body is difficult to compare with machinery in many aspects. But human desires have not died down. It can even be said that this embarrassing situation has spawned another kind of strange sounding desire: if the human body and machinery are combined, will the effect be better?
In fact, the full sense of the future of the semi-robot has already begun to show signs in real life.
The American lad Tim Cannon had implanted a computer chip about the size of a smartphone in his own arm and named it "Circadia 1.0". The chip can monitor his vital signs and send this data to his mobile phone. For example, if "Circadia 1.0" thinks that Tim is about to have a fever, he will send a text message to his cell phone to tell him.
The Spanish artist Neil Habison directly moved his head. He suffers from color blindness but can "listen" to color. Neil installed a camera-like thing on his skull as his electronic eye. This electronic eye can capture the color of the outside world, and then convert it into sound waves, which are transmitted to Neil ears through bone conduction. In Neil's world, each color corresponds to a tone, such as red is F, yellow is G, blue is C, and green is A...
Science fiction
Beyond the limit of thinking, let the machine infinitely linkage
Compared with the real-life attempts, the sci-fi technology in the science fiction works is called a truly unstoppable force. And this kind of work has grown from the sci-fi movies of the seventies and eighties of the last century, the Ghost in the Shell, the Silver Wings Killer, the Mechanical Marshal to the later Avatar.
In the "Mechanical Police", dedicated police officer Murphy
In a gun battle with gangsters, Murphy was shot in a misfortune and his body was labeled as a "sieve". After being rescued, he became a vegetative man with only a weak activity signal in the brain. However, the story turned around. With the help of Cyborg technology, Murphy not only stood up, but also became a mechanically-armed policeman. A similar plot appears in "Steel", except that the Cyborg technology that allows the protagonist to be born again comes from magical extraterrestrial energy.
The semi-robots in the "Ghost in the Shell" seem to be more in line with the development trend of the cyborg technology in the near future. Humans in the film still have biological brains, but other body parts are replaced by machinery. At the same time, the semi-robot can connect with the computer and use the computer to command the mechanical limbs. This is similar to the brain-machine combination technology in reality.
Different from the above-mentioned films, the "Avatar," "Tomorrow's Edge," "District 9" and so on are related to the human body's extracorporeal skeleton power armor. Especially the "Margins of Tomorrow" and "District 9" are perfectly reproduced. A human external armored weapon system supported by Cyborg. I have to mention "mobile platform armor" in "Avatar," which has a humanoid and powerful armored platform that is controlled by humans, but whose ability is superhuman and is more aggressive than any current armored weapon. Sensitivity, also beats tank armored vehicles in speed.
The individual carry-out exoskeleton weapons system in Tomorrow's Edge took a step further on the basis of Avatar. Humans stepped out of the mobile platform armored cockpit and turned themselves into weapons platforms. In this way, each soldier is a weapon platform, and the individual soldier’s combat capability is even more geometrically multiplied, while the casualty rate of the soldier is reduced.
What's more, the liquid Terminator appeared in the film The Terminator. The robot is entirely made of liquid metal and can normally walk like a human while in crisis, it can be liquidized from home. The sewers run into or through the groundwater pipeline. Because of the conformability of the liquid, these liquid robots can become any shape, that is, realize deformation.

Transform people into "Superman" or a double-edged sword
Cyborg technology seems to provide a "shortcut" for human evolution. In addition to the above-mentioned various forms of semi-robots, it may give us more extraordinary capabilities that are closely related to our lives. For example, if you combine with machinery, you can be tireless and do not need to sleep. Many people who complain about life are equivalent to having double life. Further, if semi-robots can live forever, isn't it even more exquisite?
However, everything has a two-sided nature, and the cyberspace technology of the human-computer interaction is also likely to be a double-edged sword.
The Cyborg technology has changed human functions, making humans more like "superman," but this change is certainly not confined to the human body, but will affect ethics and even the entire human society. In "Mechanical Warrior", although Murphy became a super police officer who made the gangsters feel fearless, he lost his ability to make intimate contact with his family and even feel warmth. Therefore, the Cyborg technology obtained by Murphy may be a good thing for social security. For his family, it is a heavy blow.
As a policeman, Murphy continued to shoulder the task of punishing evil and promoting public security after being transformed into a mechanical warfare force by Cybertron technology. However, if the same technology is used by the gangsters, the bullies have superpowers and the consequences will be unthinkable. Moreover, as in "Avatar" and "The Edge of Tomorrow," human beings have possessed astonishing lethality and destructive power through Cyborg technology. Who will restrain them?
"The Silver Wings Killer" also discusses the social issues involved in semi-robots. The copying person in the play is a creature with human intelligence and a mechanical body. They are using their own energy to run out and hijacking the starship to the earth to find energy. This can not help but think of the future, if a large number of people have become semi-robots, the energy to support the activities of the semi-robot will come from? And how should we treat the semi-robot and human beings who love each other? This is a test of social ethics.
In addition, humans have already stood at the top of the earth's food chain with their dexterous use of tools. If the Cyborg system made humans more powerful and powerful enough to go into the heavens, and completely break through the limits of nature, then humans will live in harmony with nature or cause greater damage to the earth. It is really hard to say. .
The human pursuit of technology never stops. However, in the future, it is necessary to think about the wonderful technology that is grafted into one's own body or to think twice.
