The world in 1 million years: Will we still be human?

Even if the technologies that can make us smarter and stronger some technologies will refuse to become "superhuman" and will simply want to remain human.

Over the centuries we have often wondered what we will be like (if we will be) in a million years: one of the oldest but still current hypotheses is that of HG Wells, who in his 1883 essay "Man of the Year Million" imagined alien-looking people with big heads and small bodies, writes the Italian science magazine Focus.

According to Wells, in the distant future the human species will have three options: become extinct, give life to new species, or change.

Anders Sandberg, researcher and futurist at the University of Oxford, believes that the most likely hypothesis is the second: the new species, however, will not be the result of a biological change due to evolution as we understand it, but rather of a the technology upgrade that will make some of us – those who want to – posthuman or super-evolved artificial intelligences that will have gained consciousness and populate the world without the need for Sapiens control.

Another evolutionary step will be uploading our brains to servers.

In this case it would not be a matter of mere speciation, but an abandonment of the animal universe for that of software.

But why would we want to go back to "machinery"?

For several reasons: to become immortal, creating copies and backups of ourselves on different servers; or to travel in space via the Internet or radio; or again to save natural resources, since a virtual being consumes much less energy than a physical one.

Experts, however, disagree: if on the one hand there are those who argue that AGI will already appear by 2060, on the other hand there are those who believe that artificial intelligence will never be able to "rule the world" , will or intelligence cannot be modeled mathematically and why AI is essentially mathematical.

In a million years, the human race will probably live as a minority, protected by the new hyper-technological species: we will be like the Amish today, who live in some areas of the United States adopting a poor lifestyle and outdated, protected by the state as a "cultural heritage".

It is likely that one day most human minds will become software: in addition to being able to evolve much faster, software-loaded brains do not eat or drink – and are therefore much more ecological and efficient than a body physical.
