The following short description of Transhumanism has been produced with AI assistance
Transhumanism is a philosophy and movement that aims to improve the human condition by using technologies that can enhance longevity, cognition, health, and other aspects of human capabilities. It also explores the potential benefits, dangers, and ethics of such technologies.
Transhumanism considers the possibility of transcending the current human form and limitations by means of science and technology. It may involve artificial intelligence, prosthetic body parts, and genetic manipulation12.
The impact of transhumanism on humanity is still a topic of debate. Some believe that it will lead to a post-human era where humans will be able to transcend their biological limitations and become immortal3. Others argue that it could lead to social inequality and create a divide between those who can afford enhancements and those who cannot4. The ethical implications of transhumanism are also being debated2.
As for when transhumanism will impact humanity, it is already happening.
We are already seeing advancements in areas such as gene editing, prosthetics, and artificial intelligence3. However, the full impact of transhumanism on humanity is yet to be seen.
