Recently, the news that peter Scott Morgan, the world's first "cyborg" and British scientist with frostbite, announced his death has blown up the circle of friends of everyone. But most people may not know why Peter Scott Morgan was crowned "the world's first cyborg" in addition to the label of alzheimer's patient and scientist.
Cyborg:
The English transliteration of cyborg refers to a cyborg in which the human flesh and mechanical parts are combined.
Peter himself, a roboticist, was diagnosed with frostbite in 2017. But he refused to lie in a wheelchair and waited to die, willing to use himself as a "guinea pig" and transform himself into a cyborg. He can use the world's most advanced technology to change his life, and his every move has attracted the attention of the whole world.
Step 1: Replace the flesh
Peter replaced some of the body's ducts, including the stomach, colon, and bladder, with a mechanical device, and coined a very academic term called "triple stoma," which Peter joked sounded more advanced than "reloading the internal ducts." This device allows Peter's body to take in more nutrients, and he solves the problem of eating and excretion through gastrostomy, colostomy, and cystostomy, reducing dependence on the care of others, and ensuring his own decent quality of life as much as possible.
Step 2: Replace facial expressions and sounds
While his face was still moving and talking, Peter used facial capture, voice capture, and artificial intelligence to use augmented reality (AR) as a user interface that could only be controlled through eye movements.
In the digital world, he recreates a 3D avatar of himself, which he calls "Peter 2.0." In the digital world, the relationship between Peter and AI is not a master and servant, more like a director and improvised actor, who will make corresponding expression actions according to the voice content, and accelerate the generation and customization of more emotional intelligent voices, so everyone sees a vivid digital person Peter making a speech.
Step 3: Ai automatically generates the master idea
In the last few months of his life, he began to accept Intel's brain-computer interface technology and use his mind to communicate with AI. The artificial intelligence domesticated by his ideas will continue to evolve as "Peter 3.0".
The death of the world's first "Cyborg", British scientist Peter Scott Morgan, let us see how advanced modern technology is amazing. You may continue to ask: Who am I? In the world of the Cyborg, "I" is equated with "consciousness," in other words, in a sense, "you" is equated with "86 billion neurons in your brain." Even if you replace all other organs in your body with machines, as long as the brain doesn't change, as long as the neurons are still there, the "you" that has been modified by Cyborg is still equivalent to the original "you".
The future has not yet happened, but if each of us were to live in our own "cyborgs" in the future, what would the world look like? Tell us what you really think!!!
