Artwork Concept: An Antithesis to Humanity in the Age of AI
AI has undergone dramatic evolution, now approaching a singularity that surpasses human intelligence. In this era, the boundaries between the human body and technology (AI, robotics, life science) are becoming increasingly blurred. The day may not be far when the brain is included in organ transplants --- Can we still call it human?
"What exactly are humans? Where are we heading, and what should we do now as humanity?"
This work is a proposal to rethink the significance of human existence. It aims to be a catalyst for each individual to consider what the ultimate role of humanity might be.
