Sci-Fi Meets Reality: ‘Collective AI’ Poised to Resemble Star Trek’s Character ‘Borg’! What Will It Evolve to When it Merges with Pacific Islanders?

Experts in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) are speculating about the future trajectory of AI development, drawing comparisons to its intelligence as depicted by the character ‘Borg’ in Star Trek (The Next Web). ‘Borg’ is a character that is a fluent blend of technology and biological traits combined into a single entity that is not human nor machine.

Theoretically, AI systems would ultimately involve interconnected networks of AI entities, functioning as a unified intelligence, like the hive mind of the Borg. While this concept may seem futuristic and speculative, advancements in AI technology are prompting discussions about the potential emergence of such collective intelligence systems. However, such a development raises significant ethical and philosophical questions about the nature of AI and its implications for society.

Revolutionizing Various Fields

Some experts argue that the emergence of collective AI could revolutionise various fields, from healthcare to transportation, by enabling seamless communication and coordination among AI systems. Others express concerns about the loss of individual autonomy and privacy in a world dominated by collective intelligence. Nevertheless, as technology continues to advance, the possibility of a Borg-like collective AI becomes both intriguing and alarming.

A Pacific Island Evolution

Some interesting thoughts come to mind when we combine an AI collective with Pacific Islanders:

• Would we eventually evolve into kava drinking machines where the collective AI would ultimately digress back to human speeds as it got grog-drunk?
• Would we have female netballers who can make full-court shots?
• Would our Pasifika men and women now fight more often because they could read each other’s minds?
