WackyCoder Senior AI Lesson 14
This lesson introduces transhumanism in plain language: the idea of using technology to extend or enhance human abilities. Seniors examine real technologies separately from speculative claims.
Class activity
Discuss a set of enhancements—hearing aids, pacemakers, prosthetics, brain-computer interfaces, memory augmentation—and decide where ordinary medicine ends and transhumanism begins.
Key takeaway: Technology can expand human capability, but questions of consent, access, safety, and identity remain human decisions.
