From Diffuse Logic to Artificial Intelligence. Towards a transhuman future

This paper aims to explain the fundamentals of artificial intelligence in diffuse Logic and other advanced knowledge systems. It also describes several examples of current artificial intelligence applications, especially robots. Finally, an argumentative reflection is exposed on the metaphysical and ethical consequences to which some of these intelligent machines can give rise. Some of these consequences can be positive for the advancement of intelligence and universal knowledge, but others will be disastrous for the human species and for the planet. However, what is certain is that these technological advances will entail a change in the worldview paradigm with respect to the human species both in the conception of the human being and the entities as well as in the legal and behavioral sciences.
