Posthuman Factors
Posthumans will necessarily push the boundaries of human factors, ergonomics, HCI (human computer interaction) and HRI (human robot interaction).
Evolutionary methods for problem solving and artificial development
Distributed Human-based Genetic Algorithms What we know is that human based genetic algorithms can utilize the Darwinian process of “natural selection” to evolve a candidate solution. Human based genetic algorithms utilize the human as the selector and innovator. The data...
Artificial Intelligence Is A Design Problem
Design stated as a single word typically means design of form, such as with industrial design, graphic design, and interior design. Why AI books rarely, if ever, even mention the word “design”?

What Would “Cyborg” Mean If The Word Were Invented Today?
I brought most of my most important tools, namely my exo-voice and backup parts, my computers, and my 3d printer, and set them all up on the desk that was already there. throughout the week I was able to continue my project iteration unabated;20131001_002912 these tools WERE my lab. they were part of me as I exist now.
What physical or mental enhancements are possible through gene therapy ?
Advances in genetics now permit to edit one’s genome relatively easily. Gene therapy is now used exclusively to fix diseases, but could soon be used by transhumanists for genetic enhancement, such as augmenting one’s mental faculties or improving one’s physical appearance. What exactly can we modify and what are the risks involved ?
