Life 3.0

Some researchers believe that superintelligence will likely follow shortly after the development of artificial general intelligence or AGI. Swedish-American physicist, cosmologist and machine learning researcher, Max Tegmark thinks that AI will redefine what it means to be human due to the scale of the changes it will bring about. He describes early life forms such as bacteria as Life 1.0. The rise of Homo sapiens as Life 2.0 and the potential rise of Superhuman AI as life 3.0. Max Tegmark describes the current status of our modern society as Life 2.1 due to the increase of technological enhancements of our biology.
