Artificial Intelligence and us.

Welcome to the digital age part 2.  Part 3 will touch more on 5G technology.
Briefly, CP3O is not ready yet.  But Sophia is real and still touring.
all of her :)
True more boring and routine jobs will be replaced by smart technology systems.  Like  the ATM
and the ordering kiosk at Mc Donalds and Taco Bell.  Then all of them self serve registers in your favorite grocery stores.
Oh do not forget ALEXA, SIRI, and my favorite Google Assistant on my android phone.
So A.I. and robotics are going no where else but every where on Earth and in space.
We have robotic surgeons, not quite like on star wars but yep, going there.
So a lot of people lose their jobs, and they can get different ones if they retrain.
What is another affect of A.I. is the development and utilization of bionic systems.  Lee Majors and Jamie Lee Summers had their hey day on television.  Truthfully we cannot get a bionic arm and lift tractors but if needed the stronger limbs can handle that bag of potatoes.
Part of the reality is that lifting lots of weight requires a really strong graphine composite structure.  Do not forget the connections to the Human body.  Our bodies get stronger with weight training because of stresses applied.  The same thing may work with our bodies becoming adaptable to our
new and improved  prosthetics.  The difference between really cool prosthetics and bionic prosthetics is the bionics prosthetics use your nerve endings to convert impulses to movement.
So again welcome to the digital age.

Prevention of transplanted organ rejection

IRF4 is the marker that T- cells use to fight infections and reject transplanted organs.  To date Houston, Texas Methodist University has identified this biological .  Currently if you can prevent the expression of this gene,  no organ rejection.  I on the other hand having a background in environmental engineering wonder about a better way.
I wonder if a transplanted organ was identified as belonging to the host , will this solve the organ rejection problem.
AIDS does this.  Makes factories that fool the bodies auto immune system.
Another thought, Lupus is a suped up immune system.  If a person with lupus was given say something like the aides virus.  Would the lupus immune system beat it?
