Humans, through the application of advanced prosthetics and neural interfaces, are rapidly moving toward the $6 Million Man. Robots, with the application of general artificial intelligence, are rapidly moving toward human cognitive abilities, self-learning, and replication. Somewhere in the middle, flesh will meet steel as these two trends merge. What, then, will be human and what will be technology? Does it matter for the human condition? This exploratory talk will raise questions that will face all humanity in the coming decades.
