The body counts for nothing in the Apocalyptic AI community. For example, inhis discussion of the ethical questions raised by cyborg technologies, KevinWarwick believes that physical enhancements to the body make nodifference. “Essentially it is not so much the physical enhancements or repairsthat should be our cause for concern,” he writes, “but where the nature of anindividual is changed by the linking of human and machine mental functioning”(“Cyborg morals, cyborg values, cyborg ethics,” Ethics and InformationTechnology 5: 3 (2003): 131-137, 131).That is, the body is irrelevant to considerations of what it really means to behuman; only the mind counts.Geraci 2003
