As AI and robots rise up, do humans need an upgrade too?

There is a chip implanted in my hand. Two years ago, a tattooed man backstage at a Berlin tech show used a syringe to insert the chip. The process was no more painful than having my ear pierced, and just as quick. The chip was the size of a grain of rice and gave me a new way to control my phone, but if I'm honest, I underwent the procedure purely for journalistic reasons. Yes, I'll do just about anything for a story.
