What is Master-Human

Chapter 32
Handbook of Research on Modern Educational Technologies, Applications, and Management
More and Vita-More (2013) , Istvan et al., who are the supporters of the transhumanism view that can be interpreted as the transition of the human to an upper form and getting an upper form, prepared and shared a declaration and conducted studies regarding the preparation process of humanism for this future. The change in humans from pre-human to post-human cannot be denied when the history of humanity is reviewed. Regarding Hayles’ explanation “there are no essential differences or absolute demarcations between bodily existence and computer simulation in the posthuman age”, it can be anticipated that the human of the future will have a brain supported with artificial intelligence and a body developed with technology. Then, this human won’t be described with the definition of “human” today and this new human can be named as a “master-human”. The human that interacts with the systems defined is now “Beyond Master-human”.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to foresee a futuristic view of how open universities can achieve their sustainability in the context of technological singularity. Technological singularity predicts that artificial intelligence will prevent human intelligence in the future. Not only can artificial intelligence radically change human habits, but it can also alter learning practices. The foundation of a revolutionary transformation on humanity learning will be established for both the open universities and for the technological singularity beyond master-human. Thus, open universities are not only sustainable, but, at the same time, they can be transformed into ecological learning environments. The framework of the internalizations and predictions of the study participants on open and distance learning environments will help us save open universities in the future.
