<!-- TRANSHUMANISM -->
Robot designer [[Hans Moravec]], cyberneticist [[Kevin Warwick]] and inventor [[Ray Kurzweil]] have predicted that humans and machines may merge in the future into [[cyborg]]s that are more capable and powerful than either. This idea, called transhumanism, has roots in the writings of [[Aldous Huxley]] and [[Robert Ettinger]].<ref>[[Transhumanism]]: {{Harvtxt|Moravec|1988}}, {{Harvtxt|Kurzweil|2005}}, {{Harvtxt|Russell|Norvig|2021|p=1005}}</ref>

<!-- EVOLUTION / HUMAN REPLACEMENT -->
[[Edward Fredkin]] argues that "artificial intelligence is the next step in evolution", an idea first proposed by [[Samuel Butler (novelist)|Samuel Butler]]'s "[[Darwin among the Machines]]" as far back as 1863, and expanded upon by [[George Dyson (science historian)|George Dyson]] in his 1998 book ''[[Darwin Among the Machines#Evolution of Global Intelligence|Darwin Among the Machines: The Evolution of Global Intelligence]]''.<ref>AI as evolution: [[Edward Fredkin]] is quoted in {{Harvtxt|McCorduck|2004|p=401}}, {{Harvtxt|Butler|1863}}, {{Harvtxt|Dyson|1998}}</ref>
