A Very Human Future is written from the premise that the pace of penetration and scale of disruption of new technologies requires us to adopt a new all-encompassing protective logic for society moving forward. Enriching Humanity in a Digitized World means placing humanity at the center of the agenda so that we avoid dehumanizing ourselves and future generations. As society enters the fourth industrial revolution, a major question arises—can we harness intense technological bursts of possibility to bring about a better world? A Very Human Future illustrates how the evolution of society, cities, people, businesses, industries, nations, and governments are being unexpectedly entangled by exponential technological disruption. This is not a book about technology but an exploration of how we make it serve humanity’s highest needs and ambitions. Each chapter looks at how new ideas enabled by emerging technologies are straining the old social fabric, and proposes radical future scenarios, strategies, and actions to safeguard humanity from harm and enhance opportunity for all. This book is a manifesto for a future that is better than the past. A Very Human Future rejects an outlook where human beings live a mundane existence while technologies burst with possibility. Rather, we use this book to endorse a proactive approach to the future where technology is designed to benefit humanity purposefully and intentionally. To advocate for A Very Human Future we ask, for example, how do we use technology to overcome gender bias or to impart a meaningful education to new generations? Can artificial intelligence tools make government more trustworthy and help us deal with the impacts of automation replacing humans? What rights should people have when residing in smart cities? The scale of the new technologies requires a protective logic for moving forward, keeping humanity at the centre so that we avoid dehumanizing ourselves and future generations. A Very Human Future is not one, but many: positive stories and visions of the future can be powerful beacons for social adaptation. We argue that the time to control the narrative of the future and stake a claim for humanity is now. A Very Human Future uses knowledge as power, describing surprising ways new thinking and disruptive technology can impact society. This book explains that protecting what’s human is the key to retaining our dominance over future technological progress.

Is a baby whose personality has been chosen from a gene supermarket still a human? If we choose what we create what happens to morality? Is this the end of human nature? The dramatic advances in DNA technology over the last few years are the stuff of science fiction. It is now not only possible to clone human beings it is happening. For the first time since the creation of the earth four billion years ago, or the emergence of mankind 10 million years ago, people will be able to choose their children's' sex, height, colour, personality traits and intelligence. It will even be possible to create 'superhumans' by mixing human genes with those of other animals for extra strength or longevity. But is this desirable? What are the moral and political consequences? Will it mean anything to talk about 'human nature' any more? Is this the end of human beings? Our Posthuman Future is a passionate analysis of the greatest political and moral problem ever to face the human race.

Technology has always shaped human life and our understanding of what it means to be human. But does it actually encourage human flourishing? By exploring the doctrine of the incarnation and what it means for our embodiment, Craig Gay raises concerns about the theological implications of modern technologies and movements such as transhumanism, offering an alternative vision to the path of modern technology.

This volume engages with post-humanist and transhumanist approaches to present an original exploration of the question of how humankind will fare in the face of artificial intelligence. With emerging technologies now widely assumed to be calling into question assumptions about human beings and their place within the world, and computational innovations of machine learning leading some to claim we are coming ever closer to the long-sought artificial general intelligence, it defends humanity with the argument that technological ‘advances’ introduced artificially into some humans do not annul their fundamental human qualities. Against the challenge presented by the possibility that advanced artificial intelligence will be fully capable of original thinking, creative self-development and moral judgement and therefore have claims to legal rights, the authors advance a form of ‘essentialism’ that justifies providing a ‘decent minimum life’ for all persons. As such, while the future of the human is in question, the authors show how dispensing with either the category itself or the underlying reality is a less plausible solution than is often assumed.

It is possible that many of you are scandalized by the second question, since it is true that in evolution things are not built under a teleological thought, that is, they are not built for any purpose, but those forms that best adapt are selected. to the circumstances of the moment. However, to simplify the book, I will speak in teleological terms, so I repeat the question again: what was the brain built for? To answer this question we are going to go to a very basic point of elementary biology. what is a living being? A general acceptance is that a living being is a set of matter organized in a complex way that is more or less related to the environment and whose main characteristic is to have the ability to reproduce, that is, to make similar copies of itself. The rest of the functions are debatable, but the one to reproduce is crucial. Living beings have been acquiring complexity throughout evolution. And here we find a very interesting fact, and it is that, at a certain moment of evolution, there were some beings who decided that if the food did not reach them, they would reach the food. And to achieve this, they developed systems that allowed them to move, move, in contrast with other forms of life -fundamentally plants- that chose to be sessile and remain anchored to a substrate. The ability to move and explore somehow forced them to equip themselves with a series of sensors to be able to recognize the world around them, locate food, detect danger and meet individuals of the same species in order to reproduce. The acquisition of these sensors forced the existence of a control center that knew how to interpret the information that came from them and that had the capacity to make decisions and react in some way based on said information, as well as to coordinate its own and complex movements. And in this way the nervous systems were built. As time went by, nervous systems became more and more complex, but they never forgot their fundamental mission: to survive and reproduce. Remember, a species that does not reproduce becomes extinct. So evolution set up strong biological pressures for nervous systems to be very good at doing both of those things. Those who were not good in those two entrusted missions did not reproduce and did not reach us. Therefore, we are heirs to the nervous systems that did their job well.
