We have adequate capacity to appreciate and shape the future . At this point , “ superintelligence ” gets on the stage . According to the futurist Ray Kurzweil , as a result of the development of technologies , we are likely to end up editing ourselves to integrate with computers . If we accomplish integrating our bodies with technology , we will be communicating with AI anytime we want .
