I should probably care more about the impact of sporting competitions being fair but I don't, at least at this point in my life. I watch sporting events to be entertained and that's the bar for me. I'm open for my mind to be changed though. This applies to anything I have an opinion on btw.
"Zoltan Istvan, author and founder of the Transhumanist Party, also warns that people will need to keep up with Artificial Intelligence in order to compete for work in the not too distant future. “The biggest issue of the debate is really what would you do in order to remain employed? I think that’s where the augmentation debate is going to be most dramatic,” he says."
I see this differently as well. Does it make sense to compete with AI for employment? Or even with machines in general? I see this as an opportunity to re-tool and augment AI if that makes sense. This is probably controversial but I'm all for replacing jobs like cashiers and truck drivers with technology. Re-tool those employees elsewhere. I can see the new "truck driver" sitting in a comfortable climate controlled building close to home monitoring multiple trucks on the road at one time.
"Almost seven in ten (69%) of people worldwide think it likely that only rich people will be able to enjoy access to human augmentation technology"
I have to agree with the masses here. With my experience with the U.S. Healthcare System, if it's not covered by insurance most people can't afford it. It's barely affordable with insurance as it stands.
"On average, nearly half (47%) believe governments should regulate, but this topic divides opinion."
I agree with the Kaspersky team here and also believe it needs to be regulated. I don't expect Corporations to enforce strict compliance on themselves, especially if it affects their shareholder's profits.
