Silicone chips versus biological
neurons? Atoms versus computer bits? I think we can advance both as
long as biological life and evolution come first and artificial
intelligence is used in service to biological life.
Even though artificial intelligence can
evolve much faster than biological intelligence that is weak argument
for preferring artificial intelligence---this could even be a
suicidal argument regarding life itself.
It seems likely that machine intelligence could one day dominate human life with amoral nonhuman
values, if we don't carefully see that it does not.
It does not help that the process of
future human evolution is virtually a taboo subject which has allowed
the less courageous to think only of machine evolution.
How human values and biological evolution will prevail in a world of video game-playing nerds and
individualism-obsessed libertarians, or where conservatives downplay
or don't even believe in evolution, and where businessmen value
wealth at any cost, remains to be seen.
This latest challenge of artificial
intelligence seems to be one more thing brought about by the worship of symbols, numbers and concepts over living objects, began way back with the false duality of Plato, or before.
