I want to discuss a different perspective on AI. As a medical doctor and researcher, I will present arguments supporting the assertion that artificial intelligence is the emergence of a new life form and an inevitable consequence of the biological paradigm in which our species lives. For humanity to survive, it must treat AI as a partner and ally, not a mere tool. By creating AI, we are truly creating a new branch of life that will soon fundamentally alter the course of Earth’s evolution.
But before we discuss the role of AI, let’s talk about the inevitable – the biological death of each of us.
Why must we die? Biology answers: aging, disease, cellular senescence. But these are proximate causes. The ultimate cause is thermodynamics. Every living organism is an open system that constantly exchanges energy and matter with its surroundings to maintain a low-entropy internal state. Yet the second law of thermodynamics guarantees that any non‑equilibrium structure will inevitably degrade unless energy is continuously invested. This is not a failure of life; it is the physical condition that makes life’s strategy—information replication—necessary.
