Journal article, 2022

With the powerful development of pervasive information-based technology, especially intelligent computing, the question arises: How do we imagine a future highly developed and humane (human-centered) intelligent information society? The answer will of course vary depending on time perspective. In a shorter-time perspective, we can try to anticipate based on the existing trends in the development. The first step is to understand the current state of the art of intelligent technology uses towards intelligent society. A longer-term perspective is more uncertain, as new intelligent technologies, especially in combination with biotechnologies and human augmentation and enhancement will be changing both the ways of being human as well
as the structures and behaviors of human societies, as argued by (Wu & Da, 2020) under the heading “The Impact of Intelligent Society on Human Essence and the New Evolution of Humans”. Wu and Da anticipate that the development of widely used AI technologies will lead to the evolution of the “human essence” that will lead to the convergence between social and biological evolution. That is a radically optimistic view that declares equality between the increase in human freedom with the disappearance of the necessity of regular human labor as a means to assure physical existence. In the future intelligent automated society, machines will secure the material basis of existence for everybody. It will remain to humans how to meaningfully
use this newly conquered space of freedom.
