Ethical questions:
HUMANS VS. ROBOTS

-Who is responsible for AI mistakes?
-Should AI have rights?

7. HUMAN BECOMES MACHINE-LIKE
Internet = instant answers → risk of less critical
thinking.

9. WHY THE FUTURE DOES NOT NEED
US (BILL JOY, 2000)
GNR tech (Genetics, Nanotech, Robotics) → existential
threat.
Self-replication danger: unlike bombs, bots can
multiply.
Double-edged: cures & progress vs extinction risk.

Hiroshima & Nagasaki (1945): power & destruction.
Nuclear arrogance → GNR risk repeating history.
Heidegger: “It is in questioning that we build a way.”
Freeman Dyson: scientists tempted by illusion of
power.

11. Technology = highest expression of rationality.
But unchecked arrogance → human downfall.
Nietzsche: “The wasteland grows; woe unto him who
harbors the wasteland within.”
Future depends on humans being free, rational, and
loving.
