Bionic Futures | Human Augmentation and Its Implications

This comprehensive video delves into the multifaceted realm of Human Augmentation, exploring its potential to transcend human biological limitations through advanced technology. We examine the spectrum of augmentation, distinguishing between restorative technologies like prosthetics and cochlear implants, and enhancement technologies that could grant abilities beyond the natural human range. The discussion spans from Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), offering communication and control through thought, to the controversial implications of Genetic Editing via Crispr-Cas9. Ethical considerations are scrutinized, particularly the impact of augmentation on social equality and the potential for a new class divide. The video also investigates how augmentations could revolutionize industries, redefine labor, and influence the future of work and education. It emphasizes the necessity for global regulations and ethical policies to guide the responsible development of Human Augmentation Technologies (HATs), Genetic M
