Abstract: Transhumanism envisions a future where technology surpasses biological limitations, integrating artificial intelligence (AI), brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), and advanced prosthetics into human life. This paper explores how these advancements impact consciousness, society, and ethics. While AI exhibits remarkable computational capabilities, it remains fundamentally distinct from human cognition and self-awareness. The application of transhumanist technologies in healthcare, education, and industry has the potential to transform human capabilities, yet it also introduces profound ethical dilemmas, including disparities in access, privacy concerns, and existential risks. This paper argues that a multidisciplinary approach - incorporating neuroscience, philosophy, and technology policy - is essential to ensure that the integration of humans and machines benefits society as a whole.
