Behind the argument

Humans and their tools have never stood still.

The published opening of this essay places AI within a long history of human dependence on technology. A stone tool and 2001: A Space Odyssey introduce the path from early tools to artificial intelligence.

Its premise challenges a sharp separation between humans and technology. History, biology and philosophy provide the lenses for that argument.
