Is human-machine fusion inevitable?Many futurists, including Ray Kurzweil and Elon Musk, argue yes: driven by exponential tech advances like brain-computer interfaces (e.g., Neuralink), it could enhance cognition, extend life, and prevent humans from being outpaced by AI. Transhumanist visions see it as the next evolutionary step.Yet others contend it's not inevitable—it's shaped by human choices, ethics, and regulation. Technologies like electricity weren't predestined; we could slow or redirect this path to avoid risks like inequality or loss of humanity.The trajectory feels strong, but agency remains.Sources: Kurzweil on singularity
