In this 1965 Isaac Asimov interview clip with the BBC, he predicted a future that feels eerily familiar todayāa world where humans and machines converge into something entirely new. š¤ā£ ā£ This transformation is now unfolding on both fronts: Robots are becoming more human-like and humans are integrating more technology such as Neuralink, prosthetics controlled by the mind, and artificial organs to replace failing human counterparts. ā£ ā£ 60 years ago, Asimov wasnāt just asking whether machines could think; he was exploring what happens when humans and machines merge. He envisioned a hybrid species that could surpass both humanity and roboticsāa fusion of biology and technology that might redefine existence itself.ā£ ā£ Source: BBCā£ ā£ #cyborgs #futurism #futures
