It's a fascinating thought isn't it ? At the moment worldwide AI is replacing jobs at a rapid pace I have a brother who's job at the moment is replacing humans with bots for a big multinational. There are transhumanist societies last I read in California working in these fields which everyday become more real ; Stephen Hawking claimed that's it's inevitable that AI will eventually take over and who knows where that might lead . Would one want to live forever ? Surely the planet could not survive if people never died? Side: I'm in!

I read this as Homo Optimist! "we will soon be able to incorporate neural interfaces into the human brain making our conciseness uploadable" I really don't know why people think that consciousness is something that is transferable. If one copied their brain and uploaded it to a computer/robot I see no reason why one's consciousness would also be transferred. It simply makes no sense unless we invent some kind of "soul-transfer" device and such a device is also nonsensical. One would simply end up, at best, with a computer/robot that had one's knowledge and personality. I'd also caution against any insertion of devices into one's brain as one's brain can be controlled by electrical impulses (Source 1,2). I personally wouldn't take such a risk that, even if there are no ill-intentions from the creators, could allow one's brain to be hacked by other actors.
