In conversation with Yuval Noah Harari, the Handelsblatt asked: We have already used machines to increase our physical strength. And we use computers to speed up our mental work. What exactly is new?
“For four billion years, all life on Earth was organic and evolved through natural selection. Now we are leaving the organic path and moving into the inorganic. We are creating inorganic life forms that are not subject to evolution through natural selection. Evolution is increasingly being replaced by intelligent construction.”
