Future Imperative

What if technology were being developed that could enhance your mind or body to extraordinary or even superhuman levels -- and some of these tools were already here? Wouldn't you be curious?

Actually, some are here. But human enhancement is an incredibly broad and compartmentalized field. We’re often unaware of what’s right next door. This site reviews resources and ideas from across the field and makes it easy for readers to find exactly the information they're most interested in.

About Me

Name:

The future is coming fast, and it's no longer possible to ignore how rapidly the world is changing. As the old order changes -- or more frequently crumbles altogether -- I offer a perspective on how we can transform ourselves in turn... for the better. Nothing on this site is intended as legal, financial or medical advice. Indeed, much of what I discuss amounts to possibilities rather than certainties, in an ever-changing present and an ever-uncertain future.

Artificial Intelligence (Of a Sort) as Art -- AI, Soc

*
The New York Times is now sharing this article about Lynn Hershman Leeson and her art projects, various pseudo-AIs she has tried to bring to life as an aesthetic challenge.

Though clearly these "entities" fall far short of the kind of "strong artificial intelligence" that some believe could usher in a Singularity and an utterly transformed world, they do represent the potential that even limited AI has to interact with us and change us. Normally this site discusses the kind of work that artificial intelligence can do for us, but changing our perspectives can be just as powerful.
