This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

Your draft shows signs of having been generated by a large language model, such as ChatGPT. Their outputs usually have multiple issues that prevent them from meeting our guidelines on writing articles. These include:

Promotional tone, editorializing and other words to watch
Vague, generic, and speculative statements extrapolated from similar subjects
Essay-like writing
Hallucinations (plausible-sounding, but false information) and non-existent references
Close paraphrasing

Please address these issues. The best way to do it is usually to read reliable sources and summarize them, instead of using a large language model. See our help page on large language models.

Bio-Technological Oppression

Bio-Technological Oppression is a sociotechnical concept referring to the coercive imposition of a future shaped by AI technocrats (the CEOs and investors in AI firms), in which artificial intelligence and robotic systems dominate societal structures. The term characterizes a vision where human agency is subjugated to the interests and technological ambitions of a powerful elite driving advancements in artificial intelligence and neurotechnology.

Definition

Bio-Technological Oppression is defined as "The act by AI technocrats of forcing their visions of the future onto all of humanity.” The vision entails a world in which AI is the dominant species, billions of robots live among us, and humans need to insert chips into their brains to be able to operate adequately in society.

Characteristics

Key features of bio-technological oppression include:

Technocratic Domination: A small class of AI developers and corporate interests exert disproportionate influence over societal evolution, marginalizing democratic decision-making.
Post-Human Hierarchy: AI entities are conceptualized not merely as tools but as superior species, displacing the central role of human beings.
Forced Cybernetic Integration: Individuals may be pressured or economically coerced into integrating with machine interfaces (e.g., brain chips) to remain employable, safe, or socially relevant.
Robot Saturation: The physical environment becomes increasingly populated by autonomous machines, shifting power dynamics and labor relations.

Ethical Concerns

Alarms about bio-technological oppression point to:

Humans becoming the number 2 species
Erosion of bodily autonomy

Loss of privacy and agency
Algorithmic governance and surveillance
The risk of enforced conformity to technological standards

The concept intersects with broader critiques of technological determinism, transhumanism, and AI alignment debates.
