Abstract:
This mentorship focuses on humans in relation to the universe. Humans evolved from the constant evolution of genes, but memes - cultural growth - also play an important role in creating what we are like now. Technology, a product of memetic evolution, is changing at an exponential rate and it soon will be almost impossible to keep up with its growth. The purpose of our mentorship is to find patterns in the change of technology. One pattern that we have observed is the emergence of Artificial Intelligence. The continual increase in AI (and technology as a whole) overshadows genetic evolution. Through detailed discussion of nomenclatural books with our mentor, we have acknowledged the advancement in the coalescence between humans and AI.
