Fascinating topic! With the rapid development of AI, human augmentation seems like the logical next step. I wonder what kind of ethical implications this could have.

Great point. While AI and human augmentation can greatly improve human capabilities, it's essential to consider ethical concerns such as privacy, security, and job displacement. Early discussions and regulations can help address these challenges.

Definitely. I'm currently working on a project that focuses on AI-enhanced prosthetics, aiming to significantly improve the patients' quality of life. We've reached a point where technology alone may not be the limiting factor anymore.

That's impressive! I'm researching potential solutions for non-visual sensory augmentation for the blind. The potential benefits for society are endless.

Indeed. However, I worry that not enough attention is paid to the potential risks and downsides. It might come back to bite us if we're not careful.

Totally agree, but with careful planning, regulation, and collaboration between governments, scientists, and industries, we can mitigate those risks, making the technology accessible and safe for everyone.

What do you think about AI board members on company boards, providing expert opinions to help with decision-making?

Already happening in some cases! AI can analyze vast amounts of data in seconds and make unbiased decisions compared to human board members. AI knowledge can also prevent poor investments and company failures.

Or AI can be used to create personalized reports on different industries and company financials, allowing less technical board members to still make informed decisions, which is a massive improvement from current status quo.

Any thoughts on how AI and human augmentation will affect the job market in the next decade?

Sure! Some jobs will be lost, especially repetitive, menial work. However, AI and human augmentation will create entirely new industries, and we'll see a massive demand for experts in AI, cybersecurity, and in other fields that haven't been discovered yet.
