Mind uploading is a procedure that entails transferring the human consciousness into non-biological carriers. Personality traits, emotional details, and memories could be immortalized. Creating digital forms of humans, with all of their inherent characteristics, would have significant ramifications for life on earth, as it would upset the usual cycles within economies, governments, societies and individual lives.
Feasibility and Timeframe
The modern information multiverse, where humans create social media suppositories for their personalities is, in of itself, mind uploading, although in an indirect form. A true mind upload would involve creating a separate consciousness. There are questions surrounding even its feasibility: if silicon can carry a consciousness, the implications of mind–body dualism, and ethical considerations for participants. The risks to the participants, especially during the early phases of development, might be considerable, while the process is still imperfect.
