Putin on genetics
The Power Of Genetics In Today’s World
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that it is impossible to stop research in genetics or AI today, just as it was impossible to stop the use of gunpowder back in the day.
Putin acknowledged the power of genetic researchers this time around in the world adding, “It is now possible to create this superhuman, a specialized human being, a genetically engineered athlete, scientist, military man.”
“There are reports that Elon Musk has already had the chip implanted in the human brain in the USA,” he added that AI is also the other influential modern technological advancement.
Putin also expressed his appreciation to the owner of X (formerly Twitter), the creator of Neuralink, Tesla founder – Elon Musk, saying that ‘no one will stop him’ the ‘smart’ tech giant.
President Putin expressed his admiration for Elon while he was giving a two-hour interview for Tucker Carlson, a former FOX News presenter, and the interview was released on Thursday night.
The president pointed out that there are reports that Elon Musk has already had a chip implanted in the human brain in the USA.
“Nevertheless, you’ll need to find some common ground with him. Search for ways to persuade him. I think he’s a smart person. I truly believe he is.So you’ll need to reach an agreement with him because this process needs to be formalized and subjected to certain rules.”
“But as soon as we realize that the threat comes from unbridled and uncontrolled development of AI or genetics or any other field, the time will come to reach an international agreement on how to regulate these things,” he said.
President Putin also likened the development of AI to the threat of nuclear weapons or the development of gunpowder: “Humanity has to consider what is going to happen due to the newest developments in genetics or in AI.”
“One can make an approximate prediction of what will happen. Once mankind felt an existential threat coming from nuclear weapons, all nuclear nations began to come to terms with one another since they realized that negligent use of nuclear weaponry could drive humanity to extinction,” he said.
