# Implants Could Help Humans Coevolve with Machines by Kevin Warwick > “Linking people via chip implants directly to those machines seems a natural progression, a potential way of harnessing machine intelligence by, essentially, creating superhumans.” > **— Kevin Warwick**, *“Cyborg 1.0,” Wired, 2000* ## Sources and Context - **First-person essay:** [Kevin Warwick, “Cyborg 1.0,” *Wired* (2000)](https://www.wired.com/2000/02/warwick/). The packet's “Otherwise, we're doomed” line loses the antecedent: Warwick's proposed alternative is direct neural coupling and gradual coevolution with computers. This complete preceding sentence carries his proposed mechanism; it remains a forecast, not a demonstrated species-level outcome. ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Simple Reminders|Simple Reminders]] - **Article:** [[articles/Uploading Is Imminent|Uploading Is Imminent]] - **Article:** [[articles/Walking the Beautiful Path Through the Greatest Transformation in Human History|Walking the Beautiful Path Through the Greatest Transformation in Human History]] - **Wiki map:** [[wiki/Human-Machine Symbiosis|Human-Machine Symbiosis]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/Kevin Warwick|Kevin Warwick]] ## Share on Social Media ``` “Linking people via chip implants directly to those machines seems a natural progression, a potential way of harnessing machine intelligence by, essentially, creating superhumans.” — Kevin Warwick, “Cyborg 1.0,” Wired, 2000 https://bryantmcgill.com/simple-reminders-warwick-implants-human-machine-coevolution ```
