Robots and doppelgangers that mimic the neural networks of nematodes are perceived as a threat to human self-identity, evoking physiological and emotional fears. This antipathy stems from the potential for AI-like beings to violate human identity. Did you know about the pretty little nematode (scientific name Caenorhabditis)? It’s a worm-like creature about 1 millimeter long, and...
Plastics have become a staple in modern life, and while they provide convenience, they also create environmental problems. To solve this problem, bioplastics were developed using biomass such as corn starch. Bioplastics emit less carbon dioxide and degrade naturally, but there are also challenges, such as production and properties. For a sustainable future, we need to reduce the use of...
Humanity has entered an era where it can choose its own evolution through biotechnology and genetic manipulation. This brings with it not only biological changes, but also social, ethical, and philosophical issues. We need to consider whether this is the direction we truly want to go, and reflect on the identity and nature of humanity. “Seventy thousand years ago, Homo sapiens was an...
Human cloning raises ethical and practical issues and is considered an unethical act that violates dignity. Instead, gene therapy and cloning technologies are alternatives, and we should solve the problem of human cloning and pursue a better life through advances in biotechnology. On February 21, 1997, the birth of Dolly, the first mammal cloned from an adult cell, was announced to the...
An operating system that can communicate with humans may seem like something from the distant future, but thanks to advances in machine learning, it’s becoming more and more of a reality. As machines become smarter by analyzing data and learning through supervised and unsupervised learning methods, they are contributing to solving various problems in our daily lives. In the...
Ever since humans conquered the Earth, they have turned to space to advance rocket technology and science and technology, but space development has been stifled by huge budgetary challenges. However, since the Obama administration, private companies have reignited space development, aiming to reduce costs through reusable rocket technology. Blue Origin and SpaceX are leading the way, with varying...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has overcome the limitations of early rule-based systems and mimics human learning with new approaches to solve innovative problems in areas as diverse as language translation and object recognition. In this process, AI learns from data and produces efficient and accurate results without the need to define rules. In the future, AI has the potential to make our daily...
Humans have evolved as Homo sapiens and have dominated the planet, but advances in biotechnology have made genetic manipulation possible, threatening our species identity. Biotechnology offers benefits, but it also requires serious reflection on the future and end of humanity. Humanity has existed on Earth since its emergence millions of years ago. Over that time, we have evolved and are...
