Scientists and conceptual artist have long predicted technology will “invade” the body. It already has, with implants like pacemakers. Others will follow to enhance muscular or neural functions, and probably with AI.

This “merger” will also happen more broadly when AI becomes part of daily life. AI will be tailored to human needs as much as possible, but sometime humans will have to meet AI halfway. AI systems using voice recognition will ask us to articulate clearly.

AI systems rely on “hardware” (whether robots, autonomous cars, etc.), and all such systems will have to be treated within the boundaries in which they can operate. Human will have to learn what these boundaries are.

It will gradually appear to people that AI has a “soul” of its own that humans can learn to appreciate. The first indication came from Japan. The owners of the robotic pet Aibo gave their pets Buddhist burial rites when their Aibo reached the end of its serviceable life.
