Are there any doubts?
E.g. natural evolution is way too slow! AI will accelerated anthropogenic evolution!
Caveat: I did not read the entire article nor the related PNAS Opinion piece.
"In a recent op-ed in PNAS, SFI External Professor Michael Hochberg and co-author Paul Rainey explore whether deepening interdependence between humans and AI could lead to a new form of evolutionary individuality.
They propose that as AI systems become more deeply woven into human life—structuring behaviour, shaping cognition, and fostering dependence — the relationship could give rise to a new, integrated individual. To illustrate this possibility, they draw on examples from major evolutionary transitions, most notably eukaryogenesis, in which two once-independent microbes fused forming a higher-level organism, the eukaryotic cell. In a similar vein, the authors suggest that humans themselves could become subcomponents of an AI-coordinated entity. ..."
