Abstract

Many types of machine intelligence are changing all areas of our lives. In this context, machine intelligence refers to digital services of any kind that relieve humans of mental tasks or reinforce human intelligence. This can involve administering a bank account as well as managing a supply chain, counterterrorism, home automation, autonomous vehicles, an active exoskeleton, and all apps on mobile devices or internet websites; in other words, everything that supports our lives now and in the future. The areas of life concerned range from communication and medical therapy to financial provision for retirement. Does machine intelligence make us happy or are we becoming unhappy slaves to technology?

Footnotes
1
The datenkraken is the German term for the “big beasts” of the internet, named after the murderous sea monster of Norse mythology.
 
2
In this context, a quantum leap in evolution refers to a large evolutionary step within a short time frame. This raises the question of whether machine intelligence warrants the term saltatory evolution.
 
3
In many religions, Creation merely provides readily communicable explanations for our existence, while, even from a scientific perspective, there are no causal reasons for the existence of the world. The term Creation is therefore used here as a placeholder.
 
4
Evolution is understood to mean sociotechnical evolution here, not biological evolution.
 
5
Humans are part of evolution. We therefore need to consider whether they determine their goals autonomously or whether evolution can impose its goals.
