The convergence

There used to be the concept of a “singularity”. The idea was that computers would become smarter than humans and start to replace them. Even the idea that humanity would be substituted by silicon-based computing machines (robots) was suggested. Against that two years ago we set the concept of “The convergence”. This assumes that biological and silicon-based computation would merge in the sense of better control over biological processes like diseases and longevity. It is essentially a deeply humanistic perspective, in spite of being futuristic, and not taking misuses actively into account.
