Will Robots Inherit the Earth?

October 1994

Imagine a future where humans merge with machines, potentially living for centuries: Marvin Minsky explores this prospect, discussing how we might overcome biological limitations through nanotechnology and artificial intelligence. He envisions replacing body parts, augmenting our brains, and even creating mind children that think a million times faster than us—raising profound questions about human identity, ethics, and the nature of consciousness.
