Stuff AI CAN'T Do

Can AI determine which human traits deserve preservation as biological evolution stagnates ?

What do you think?

This probes whether AI could act as a curator of human evolution, selecting which traits to preserve or discard in the face of rapid technological change and potential genetic stagnation.


AI can, today, analyze genetic, behavioral, and physiological datasets to infer which human traits may be most consequential for long-term survival or cultural continuity, and some bioethics research teams have published preliminary proposals for “trait prioritization frameworks.” These efforts remain largely theoretical, however, because measuring the fitness value of traits in a world where medicine and technology buffer environmental selection is still nascent. The field has not yet delivered a consensus or actionable standard for deciding which traits deserve preservation in the face of evolutionary stasis.
