NEUROPROSTHESES. "For Ray Kurzweil, artificial intelligence (AI) is not just about making artificial things intelligent; it’s also about making humans artificially super-intelligent. In his version of our future we enhance our mental powers by means of increasingly powerful electronic neuroprostheses. The recognition that any function performed by neurons and synapses can be done better by electronic chips will lead to an ongoing conversion of biological brain into machine mind. We will upload." https://lnkd.in/dP_jT6X View in LinkedIn

LEADING IDEAS. “Two major hypotheses have been proposed to explain the evolution of separate sexes. The first hypothesis is that there are trade-offs between male and female function, such as when mating displays enhance male fitness but decrease female fitness. In this case, individuals can gain reproductive advantages by specializing as a male or female.” http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1001899 View in LinkedIn

LOSS OF CONTROL. “If we make machines that are much smarter than human beings...then it’s very difficult to predict what such a system would do and how to control it.” (Prof Stuart Russell). http://www.pri.org/stories/2014-06-09/scientists-are-starting-worry-about-conscious-machines-movie-transcendence View in LinkedIn

HYPOTHESIS 7. “Finally, having two mating types or sexes may serve to enable organisms to know when they are diploid, as they will be heterozygous rather than homozygous for sex determinants contributed by each haploid parent.” http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1749461315000391 View in LinkedIn

HYPOTHESIS 5. “Having two defined mating types or sexes may have enabled specialization of gametes and differential contribution of resources, giving rise to certain development outcomes that we observe such as the transition from isogametic species to anisogametic ones.” http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1749461315000391 View in LinkedIn

HYPOTHESIS 4. “Having two mating types or sexes may have evolved as a response to conflicts between nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, or between mitochondrial genomes, and thereby given rise to uniparental inheritance of mitochondria and chloroplasts.” http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1749461315000391 View in LinkedIn
