Could cryonics revolutionize the treatment of terminal illness and space travel in the future?

C

Cryonics is being studied as a way to treat terminal illnesses and extend life, and it is also expected to play a role in future industries such as space development. However, despite the success of the cooling phase, there are still many challenges to overcome, such as brain damage during the thawing process. Scientists are still hoping to overcome this with future technologies.   People...

Can robots with human-like intelligence and morality be entrusted with human intellectual judgment and responsibility?

C

If robots with human-like intelligence and morality are developed, we need to discuss whether we can entrust them with important decisions that humans make. We conclude that it is difficult to entrust robots with all decisions due to their lack of accountability, value judgment, and creativity.   However, if robots are created with intelligence and morals close to those of humans, will we be...
