Will Transhumanism Beat AI Ethics and Begin Days of Noah?

will transhumanism beat AI ethics

WILL TRANSHUMANISM BEAT AI ETHICS? Pope Francis plans to attend the June G7 session on AI in Puglia, Italy in an effort to make AI “ethical.” But we will need more voices than his to turn nations from this new broad way to destruction.

Artificial intelligence does speed up innumerable tasks. But it also speeds up progress in a direction we don’t want to pursue—transhumanism.

According to Encyclopedia Britannica, transhumanism “advocates the use of current and emerging technologies—such as genetic engineering, cryonics, artificial intelligence (AI), and nanotechnology—to augment human capabilities and improve the human condition.”

This may sound good until you consider the implications. First, implanting a Neuralink device into your brain may help you to control some functions better. But it might also be hacked to control the thinker.

With so much artificial intelligence involved, can the thinker separate his own intelligence from AI?

Or can AI itself control the thinker? What separates the human from the artificial parts in a transhuman hybrid? What prevents such a being from being demonized?

Hybrids made in man’s image

Genetically engineered hybrids caused some of the increase of wickedness in the days of Noah. The sons of God—fallen angels—mated with the daughters of men and produced the Nephilim. They combined demonic powers with giant intimidating physique: “the mighty men of old” (Gen. 6:4).

“Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth…The Lord said, ‘I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land…’” (Gen. 6:5-7).

When man remakes man in his own image, he can become like the fallen angels God cannot tolerate. But “the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah” (1 Pet. 3:20). How long will God allow us to tamper with His creation before calls an end to our days? Until we make humans so inhuman that they can’t be saved?

Because they “filled with violence” the earth, God said He would “destroy them with the earth” (v. 13). Similarly, man can weaponize hybrids to the point that they can overpower man. What sign can speed up the end-times more quickly than our own self-destruction? Dehumanization both increases wickedness and causes love to grow cold.

Pray God will give us a grace period greater than the “brave new world” that transhumanists plan.
