should not let humanity’s new electronic frontiers reshape us. But every time
technology has reshaped us, it has upgraded us. To see how synergies with
electronic systems like artificial intelligence can give humanity and humanism
new powers, look at how bacteria have gained new abilities over the last
billion years. They could have anticipated being annihilated by the new
multicellulars and tried to stop multicellular formation. But the
multicellulars did not wipe out their single-celled forebears. Far from it.
They worked out deals with the multi-cellulars. And those cooperative
arrangements gave both the microbes and the multi-cellular beasts whole new
powers, whole new ways to make a living. Look, for example, at the cockroaches
that first showed up on the planet 320 million years ago. For 69 million
years, the cockroaches were limited to easily digestible food. But there was
hard stuff all around them bursting with nourishment. That oh, too solid stuff
was the tree. And there was no way that the digestive system of cockroaches
could turn bark and wood into tasty treats. Then came over 33 species of
bacteria and set up shop in the cockroach’s guts. Species like Paenibacillus
lactis, Lysinibacillusmacrolides, and Stenotrophomonas
maltophilia.</SPAN><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">[i]
</SPAN><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">These microbial wonders
could eat cellulose, the hard stuff that had previously made wood
indigestible. What’s more, the cellulose eaters could defecate material that
was toast with butter and jam to the cockroaches, the perfect food-- sugars
and short-chain fatty acids. In exchange, the microbes used cockroaches as
their transport and chewing machines. The cockroaches empowered by their
bacterial colonists to eat trees took off on an evolutionary path of their
own. Today we call them termites. And there are 2,000 species of them. Which
means that once the lowly cockroach allowed cellulose-eating bacteria and
flagellates to turn its innards into a microbial dining hall, the newly
empowered cockroaches found 2,000 new ways to make a living. So, no,
multicellular beings did not wipe out their single-celled progenitors. They
gave them a rich new home. And they gavet he unicellulars breathtaking new
abilities. If all goes well, that will be the relationship of AI and
humankind—symbiosis. Mutual empowerment.</SPAN></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><BR>
