MSTU1001 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Posthumanism, Cyborg Antenna, Synthetic Intelligence
MSTU Week 8 Lecture – Speial effets, yogs ad ieas digital odies
• Claks thid la
• Second law is about moving beyond what is currently possible
• Science, technology and our embodied relationship
Types:
• Genetic – Gattaca
• Biochemical – Lucy, Limitless
• Mechanical (alter physical ability) – RoboCop, Terminator
• Informational (perception, cognition and memory) – Ghost in the Shell, Avatar, The Matrix,
Ex Machina
Genetic Enhancements:
• Highlight the need for ethical and legal guidelines
• First genetically modified human embryo
• Gendering of technology – effecting human identity
• Technology is not neutral – privileging
Biochemical Enhancements:
• Lucy does not have the CGI
• Not realistic
• Use of synthetic drug – changing of the brain as well as physical
• Limitless – dug ased o ootopis
• Natural enhancements through proper drugs to super charge the brain
Mechanical:
• RoboCop (87/14)
• Ideas about post-humanism
• Graham 4 – human bodies are redrawn: they no longer end at the skin
• In addition to bio-chemicals
Informational:
• Westworld
• Artificially enhanced – implants to connect to computers, nanotech and medical prosthetics
• Expanding the sense (Ebeborg, Google Lens)
• Emotiv – Wieless EEG thought otol of tehology ad ojets
• Using of technology to act and communicate
• Eyeborg – extract and inject info from the into the brain
• Dangerous Things website – biohacking
AL: Human and Machine Cognition:
• Humans dont hae the apaity
• Processing of perceptual and relational tasks from ques
• Cotepoay AIs ad AL2.0
