The Future of Man and Technology

I've been working on a paper for the last year and I'm hoping to succeed in publishing it this February. I can not post the entire paper, but here is the Abstract.

Abstract: Within the next forty years, humans will have the ability to create superhuman intelligence. After this accomplishment, the human era will end and be replaced by posthuman existence. The ethical issues concerning the future creation of superintelligent machines must be explored in order to rectify the possibility of any harmful ramifications these machines might have on humans once implemented. I will discuss some of the ethical issues in creating these superintelligent machines as well ways we could implement them in a manner in which their motivations and intellectual capacities accelerate human development without any negative or harmful consequences for human beings.
