An explosion in artificial intelligence has taken place in recent years. Due to the increasing proliferation of AI in different areas of society, more people have started to think about the future with robots. In this chapter, we'll discuss about the relationship between humans and machine intelligence, and visions of the future from the perspectives of science, technology and humanity. Will technology become the new Dominus Deus and help human achieve self-transcendence; or lead human to self-destruction instead? How will science and humanity unify?
