Abstract

The paper is dedicated to a package of seven successive ideologies that have emerged in the last 35 years, united under the circulating on the Web neologistic acronym TESCREAL. Over the past two years, this label has been used to designate the ideas of some of the richest, smartest and most prominent technological leaders to improve human life through technologies inspired by several overlapping futuristic philosophies related to Transhumanism and Longtermism. Proponents of a techno-utopian TESCREALism vision of the future of humanity believe that building super-intelligent Artificial General Intelligence Systems will lead to the creation of radically improved and even immortal humans colonizing the Universe, while TESCREALists sceptics bring to the fore the existential danger of Artificial General Intelligence Systems turning and destroying against their creators.
