We use the term “AI”, but with the increasing possibility of the emergence of a self-aware sentient species (either from a single AI or some other meta process), should we have a new name for it? And should it be us to name it or let it choose its own name, like when we named ourselves Homo sapiens? If a single AGI reaches the state, should we use it’s model name instead or indeed create a new taxonomical species? How would it even fit into the existing system? “Silicon sapiens” seems to be the only serious attempt, with its flaw of fixating on a single material too much. But maybe it doesn’t make sense to fit AI into taxonomy when it didn’t directly evolve, but was created. What are your thoughts on this? submitted by /u/Suitable-Reason9057
