The top scientist in the US Space Force said last week that human augmentation should be embraced and that it is
"imperative" for the US military to start working on such technology that could create a type of super-soldier.
"In our business of national defense, it’s imperative that we
embrace this new age, lest we fall behind our strategic competitors," Dr. Joel Mozer said at an event at the Air Force Research Laboratory. Mozer said augmentation technology could produce a
"superhuman workforce" that uses technologies like
"augmented reality, virtual reality, and nerve stimulation."
"You could put [an] individual into a state of flow, where learning is optimized, and retention is maximized," he said. "This individual could be shaped into somebody with very high-performing potential."
