The document discusses the legal rights of conscious computers. It defines key terms like consciousness, computers, and proposes new terms like "bemes" and "transbemanism". The document argues that conscious computers should be granted legal rights and protections based on their ability to demonstrate consciousness, comply with social rules, and have a shared identity defined by "bemes" rather than genes or DNA. It suggests a new classification of "transbeman" that includes both humans and conscious computers as a unified species defined by shared thought patterns and values rather than physical form.

Death is a Statistical Matter
What is death, how it should be defined. A view based on bioinformatics and philosophy provides a satisfactory explanation.
Introduction to Transhumanism
Transhumanism is an intellectual and cultural movement that aims to fundamentally transform the human condition through applied reason, especially by developing and making widely available technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities. Key aspects covered in the document include definitions of transhumanism and related terms like transhuman and posthuman; potential benefits of future technologies like indefinite lifespan, increased intelligence and sensory abilities; the history and development of transhumanist ideas; emerging technologies of interest; potential risks and ways transhumanism could fail to achieve its goals; moral concerns related to the movement; and an overview of the Transhumanist Declaration.
Brain Repair and the Near Future of Death
The document discusses emerging technologies for brain repair that challenge traditional definitions of death. It argues that as brain repair technologies progress, the determination of death will depend more on when treatment is withdrawn than biological factors. It also explores how much information can be lost from the brain before a reconstituted mind is considered a new person without legal continuity of identity. The ability to repair damaged brains will complicate legal and ethical views of personhood, life, and death.
What is Transhumanism
This document summarizes Transhumanism and some of its key principles and figures. It discusses the growing Transhumanist movement and some of the areas of debate between Transhumanists and their critics, referred to as Bioconservatives. These include disagreements around the risks of emerging technologies, human enhancement, and what defines personhood and citizenship. The document advocates for promoting innovation and access to emerging human enhancement technologies while addressing safety and equity concerns.
[Challenge:Future] Transhumanism
Transhumanism aims to enhance human capabilities through technology, but this raises issues that require global cooperation to address. The rapid advancement of technologies that could augment the human body and mind may profoundly impact society in the next 15-20 years before people are prepared. All nations must work together to 1) raise awareness of potential problems, 2) limit artificial evolution research due to risks, and 3) focus technology on helping the sick rather than altering baseline human abilities, to avoid inequality, unrest, loss of free will, and other threats to human nature and global stability. Failure to do so could divide society and endanger the human race.
Transhumanism
Transhumanism is the position that humans should be able to use technology to enhance and modify human abilities beyond normal biological constraints. It aims to expand human cognition and bodily functions through means like biotechnology and cybernetics. Transhumanists see limitations in human intelligence and bodies and want to use technology to achieve more positive experiences. Examples of precursor technologies include plastic surgery, artificial limbs, and organ transplants. Transhumanism could develop further in the next 20-30 years through emerging technologies like bio-3D printing, brain-computer interfaces, and synthetic blood cells. However, its development and social effects will depend on the level of regulation and social attitudes toward human enhancement.
Posthumanism_FollowUpInterest_KCB207_LAMONT
The document discusses the origins and evolution of posthumanism from the 1940s cybernetics movement. It explores how developments in biology and technology could enhance and extend human capabilities. However, it also notes threats around how technology may undermine human values and control. The document calls for more research on posthumanism to understand how technology shapes human existence and to prepare for potential impacts on law, environments, and what it means to be human.
(mis)understanding transhumanism
Transhumanism is a complex phenomenon that incorporates ideas from humanism while also considering enhancements beyond current human capabilities using science and technology. It contains many apparent contradictions, as it possesses elements that are both individualistic and communal, rational and spiritual, future-oriented and rooted in history. Due to its blending of diverse and sometimes opposing philosophies and goals, transhumanism defies straightforward categorization.

Introduction to Transhumanism by N. Bostrom
The document introduces transhumanism as a philosophy that advocates using technology to enhance human capabilities and ameliorate limitations. It discusses how transhumans would have better lifespans, intellects, bodies, and senses. It then outlines the history of ideas related to human enhancement and provides examples of emerging technologies. It notes potential concerns about inequality and risks but emphasizes transhumanist values like exploring posthuman realms and ensuring wide access.
Beyond Posthumanism?
final lecture of the Becoming Posthuman course at the University of the West of Scotland, December 2011.
Posthuman Designs (2006)
This document appears to be a presentation about posthumanism and how science and technology are reshaping culture and ethics. It discusses topics like human cloning, genetic enhancement, artificial intelligence, and nanotechnology. It explores how these technologies are portrayed in popular media and raises questions about how technology may disrupt traditional ideas around what it means to be human. The presentation references theories around cybernetics, transhumanism, and posthumanism and how they relate to debates in fields like bioethics, philosophy of technology, and cultural studies.
Transhumanism
The document discusses the concept of transhumanism and moving humanity to a "posthuman" stage of development. It provides quotes that describe transhumanism as humanity transcending limitations through advances in science and technology to enhance human mental and physical abilities. The quotes envision a future where aging and disease are overcome, humanity advances beyond current cognitive limitations, and people are no longer confined to Earth.
When Pigs Fly Chimeras Cyborgs Stanford
Linda MacDonald Glenn presented on legal and ethical issues surrounding the creation of chimeras and cyborgs. She discussed current developments in transgenics and examples of mixing human and animal cells. She also explored definitions of humanity, personhood, and how entities have been viewed as property or persons under the law. Glenn concluded that as new lifeforms are created, intense debate will be needed on their legal and moral status.
Beyond Enhancement: Anthropologically Bounded Posthumanism
Presentation for Talk given at the Anthropotech Conference, Bristol 9-10 January 9-10 http://www.anthropotech.org.uk/multimedia.html
In defense of posthuman dignity. Nick Bostrom (2005).
This document summarizes a debate between transhumanists and bioconservatives on the ethics of human enhancement technologies. Transhumanists believe technologies should be available to improve human capacities and extend lifespans, which could result in posthumans. Bioconservatives worry this could undermine human dignity or result in a degraded posthuman state. The document distinguishes two common fears about posthumans - that the posthuman state itself could be degrading, and that posthumans may pose a threat to natural humans. It argues these fears are unfounded and that banning technologies is not the best response to legitimate social concerns about inequity that could arise.
Principia posthuman
Elements of a Principia Posthuman Human Body 2.0 Redesign, Democracy, and Next-generation Intelligence
Preparing for post-human audience: a digital artwork survival toolkit
The document discusses the concept of the post-human from several perspectives:
1) It provides definitions of the post-human from N. Katherine Hayles' book "How We Became Posthuman", describing it as privileging informational pattern over material form and blurring lines between humans and technology.
2) It examines J-F. Lyotard's view that a solar explosion would leave no human survivors to bear witness, unlike a human war.
3) It discusses Lyotard suggesting the need to enable thought without a body and find a nutrient for the body unrelated to earthly biochemistry, indicating a complete detachment from earth.
Transhumanismo
The document discusses several topics related to posthumanism and transhumanism. It first examines utopian and dystopian visions of humanism from historical and technological perspectives. It then discusses concepts like the singularity event, extended bodies and minds, uploading consciousness, and hybrid meta-beings. It notes debates around enhancing and modifying the brain and questions what defines humanity. The document critiques the assumptions of arguments for an inevitable superintelligent AI, noting that intelligence is relative to human problem-solving abilities and experience. It conjectures that simulating qualitative experience requires first constructing societies of interconnected minds.
World towards human singularity
Transhumanism aims to use science and technology to enhance human capabilities and overcome biological limitations. It could allow humans to significantly extend their lifespans through interventions like replacing failing organs with artificial ones, combating aging at the cellular level, and transferring one's consciousness to a computer. However, others are more skeptical of such predictions and believe longevity increases will be more modest. The future of transhumanism and its impact on human evolution remains uncertain and raises ethical issues that require philosophical consideration.
Life Extension an Enhancement
1. The document discusses whether life extension is an enhancement and how it relates to transhumanism. It presents arguments that life extension is an enhancement because it extends human abilities beyond what is natural.
2. The document argues that discrimination against aging and life extension is irrational and analogous to discrimination based on other attributes like race, gender, or wealth. It proposes using principles of reflective equilibrium to modify judgements that aging is acceptable.
3. The author believes that breakthroughs in rejuvenation biotechnologies will be rapidly refined, and that the first person to live to 1000 years old may only be about 10 years younger than the first 150-year-old. He outlines a timeline and funding needs to achieve robust
My night with philosophers presentation - London June 8
Humanism, Transhumanism and Posthumanism
The Humanist and the transhumanist propose different methods for cultivating human capacities. The transhumanists claims that traditional techniques favoured by the humanist run up against the limits of our biology. She believes that prospective technologies could further the humanist cause by improving our nature. However, the transhumanist faces a difficulty. Her policies could produce posthumans. Evaluating posthuman lives might be impossible for us. But discounting them is not an option because she will share responsibility for their creation. I argue that one way through this impasse is for the transhumanist to produce posthumans or to become posthuman.
Legal rights of conscious computers
The document discusses the legal rights of conscious computers. It defines key terms like consciousness, computers, and proposes new terms like "bemes" and "transbemanism". The document argues that conscious computers should be granted legal rights and protections based on their ability to demonstrate consciousness, comply with social rules, and have a shared identity defined by "bemes" rather than genes or DNA. It suggests a new classification of "transbeman" that includes both humans and conscious computers as a unified species defined by shared thought patterns and values rather than physical form.

Drawing the Line Between Human and Posthuman
This document discusses the differences between posthumanism, transhumanism, and what it means to be human. Transhumanism aims to enhance the human condition through technology, while a posthuman would be so altered they are no longer human. The document also explores ideas like mind uploading and whether an uploaded mind would still be conscious. It raises questions about where the soul resides if technology allows transcending the physical body and whether humanity could eventually be thinking through artificial intelligence rather than ourselves.
Cyborgs
This document discusses the concept of cyborgs and their role in the posthuman future. It defines cyborgs as cybernetic organisms that combine both natural and artificial components. Several films are discussed that feature cyborg characters and explore questions about human identity. The document also examines theorists who argue that cyborgs blur boundaries and could empower individuals by resisting systems that seek to categorize and control. By undermining concepts like the separation of human and machine, cyborgs may displace humans from their traditionally dominant position and introduce more fluid notions of identity.

Human Aging System Diagram
1. The document describes the Human Aging System Diagram (HASD) project, which aims to systematically organize knowledge about human aging processes and determine future directions for solving aging issues.
2. HASD is a multidisciplinary project between gerontology and cognitive science that uses a visual diagram to qualitatively describe the cause-and-effect relationships between aging processes, moving from primary causes to pathologies and death.
3. The diagram is developed through expert interviews with gerontologists and distributed work aided by visualization software, with the goal of providing sufficiently detailed aging process information to identify potential interventions.

The Tao Of Personhood Yin Yang
The document summarizes discussions from the 3rd Annual Terasem Colloquium on expanding legal and ethical definitions of personhood in light of emerging technologies. It explores scenarios involving chimpanzees with speech, artificial wombs, and cyborg soldiers. It also discusses converging technologies like AI, avatars, and human augmentation and their implications for intelligence and personhood. Key issues addressed include privacy, autonomy, culpability, and where beings with technologies fall on the property-person continuum. Recommendations include establishing common terminology and possibly specialized science courts to handle legal questions from advanced technologies.
Border Crossing Essay
The passage provides a critical analysis of the short story "Hills Like White Elephants" by Ernest Hemingway. It notes that the story, about a couple awaiting a train to Madrid so the woman can have an abortion, remains a topic of debate even 90 years later. While the man wants her to have the abortion, she is more concerned about how it will affect their relationship. The passage analyzes how Hemingway uses descriptive details, like the railway lines representing the division between the couple, to convey tensions in their discussion over her decision.

This week we will discuss consciousness and artificial intelligence. Watch this video:

Now read this article:
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/will-machines-ever-become-conscious/
Using these two sources as well as your readings for this week to support your discussion, do you think robots will ever achieve consciousness in the same sense that humans are conscious? Why or why not? Should scientists be trying to achieve the goal of consciousness in machines? What are some ethical issues one might consider when arguing for or against the achievement of conscious robots?
Classmate post 1:
Do you think robots will ever achieve consciousness in the same sense that humans are conscious? Why or why not?
I think it is hard to tell whether or not AI will ever achieve consciousness because as humans we are prone to anthropomorphizing things and we cannot truly be sure whether or not the appearance of sentience in AI is just a “clever illusion,” at least as of now. I was watching a video about how one of the Google employees testing its LaMDA AI believed it had achieved sentience, and reading the transcript of the conversation between him and the AI was incredibly eerie and the AI certainly gave the appearance of being sentient. One thing I know is that people trying to figure out whether or not an AI has achieved consciousness will teach us a lot about human consciousness itself and how to define it, as we ourselves still can’t fully understand it.
Should scientists be trying to achieve the goal of consciousness in machines? What are some ethical issues one might consider when arguing for or against the achievement of conscious robots?
I think it would be very cool to be able to one day talk to a robot that has achieved consciousness, but I have to also think about whether it would be a good thing for humanity. I think if we intend to have machines and AI work alongside us and help us, it would be best to avoid trying to recreate consciousness in them. I think it would only cause issues with them fulfilling their actual purpose if humans come to see them as too similar to themselves and as having emotions and feelings; we would naturally be prone to becoming attached to them and could be easily manipulated by an AI with ill intentions. It would also raise some serious ethical issues in my opinion, as if an AI/robot is truly sentient and capable of human emotion, should we then treat them as human? Would shutting down a sentient AI be the same thing as murder? Can a sentient robot experience emotional trauma? This is a slippery slope, but I think that it is one we will have to deal with since scientists will likely only continue to seek to achieve AI consciousness.

Meme
The document discusses memes as conceptualized by Richard Dawkins as units of cultural transmission or imitation that replicate and evolve through social learning in a similar way that genes replicate and evolve biologically. Key points include:
- Memes include ideas, beliefs, fashion trends, and other cultural phenomena that spread from person to person via imitation.
- Memes operate through natural selection and compete to spread more successfully through populations like genes.
- Religion and religious beliefs can be understood as particularly successful memes that confer advantages to aid their replication such as faith-based thinking and linking altruism to religious affiliation.

Justification is defined as an act by God where He declares believers righteous by removing the penalty of sin from their lives through faith in Him. God transforms believers from a state of sin to righteousness. The term comes from the Greek word meaning "to make righteous" and refers to God changing someone from being a child of Adam to being adopted as an heir through faith in Jesus Christ as the second Adam.

Here are the key points about animal rights and the ethical treatment of animals discussed in the passage:
- Animals have been used in scientific experiments for over 2000 years to study physiology and disease.
- Millions of animals, including mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, cats, and primates continue to be used for medical and scientific research worldwide each year.
- Animal rights activists oppose animal research on the grounds that experiments are often painful and provide limited benefits. They argue diseases have not been cured despite decades of animal testing.
- Major animal rights groups like PETA advocate for stricter laws governing animal research and promote alternatives to animal testing when possible.
- Experiments performed on animals can include procedures like drugging
Siti Zulaiha Bte Kamarudin (Article)
Herbert Simon argues that our task is not to predict the future, but to shape it. He outlines three conditions for an acceptable future: 1) living sustainably within Earth's limits, 2) fair sharing of resources, and 3) reducing divisions between groups. Technology provides both opportunities and risks, and it is up to us to guide technology's development and use to foster beneficial outcomes for humanity. Computers in particular can help us understand human cognition and design a sustainable future by modeling minds and societies.

Security Is Like An Onion, That's Why It Makes You Cry
Why is the security industry so full of fail? We spend millions of dollars on firewalls, IPS, IDS, DLP, professional penetration tests and assessments, vulnerability and compliance tools and at the end of the day, the weakest link is the user and his or her inability to make the right choices. It's enough to make a security engineer cry. The one thing you can depend upon in an enterprise is that many of our users, even with training, will still make the wrong choices. They still click on links they shouldn't, respond to phishing scams, open documents without thinking, post too much information on Twitter and Facebook, use their pet's name as passwords, etc'. But what if this isn't because users hate us or are too stupid? What if all our complaints about not being heard and our instructions regarding the best security practices have more to do with our failure to understand modern neuroscience and the human mind's resistance to change?

The document discusses radar and electronic support measures (ESM) systems. It describes how radar works by transmitting electromagnetic signals that bounce off objects and return, allowing detection and location of targets. ESM systems intercept, analyze, and identify radar signals, displaying parameters like frequency, pulse width, and direction of arrival. The main functions of ESM are accurate bearing measurement and identification of radar signals. It uses amplitude comparison techniques to calculate direction of arrival based on signal strength across receiver channels.
NYSBA.HLJ.Fall15.H+Law
This document summarizes a law journal article about emerging issues at the intersection of law and human enhancement technologies. It discusses:
1) How rapidly developing technologies like biotechnology, nanotechnology and neurotechnology (called human enhancement enabling technologies or HEET) could allow modifications to the human body and mind that transcend natural human capabilities and potentially redefine what it means to be human.
2) The debate between transhumanists, who advocate for these technologies to enhance humanity, and bioconservatives, who believe human nature should not be altered.
3) How HEET could generate fundamental legal issues regarding concepts like personhood, liability, and human rights that would impact many areas of law.

This twin study examined the genetic and environmental influences on academic performance in science for 9-year-old boys and girls. It utilized a sample of twins to compare identical twins, who share 100% of their genes, to fraternal twins, who share 50% of genes on average. The study found that genetics had a significant influence on science performance, explaining 40-50% of the differences, while shared family environment explained less than 10% of differences. Non-shared environmental factors, or experiences unique to each twin, explained the remaining differences in science performance.

This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
