Abstract: 
This paper explores the groundbreaking integration of superhuman and synthetic human technologies with the Internet of Things (IoT) and ubiquitous computing, focusing on their evolving applications within the United States. As AI technology progresses, the development of superhuman abilities and synthetic humans is not only becoming a reality but is also increasingly being incorporated into the IoT and ubiquitous computing environments. This integration represents a significant shift in how these technologies are applied in various sectors, including healthcare, defense, smart cities, and personalized services. The research outlines the current state of AI, superhuman, and synthetic human technologies, emphasizing their potential to enhance human capabilities and create highly adaptive, responsive, and intelligent environments. We examine several case studies where these integrations have led to innovative solutions, improving efficiency, safety, and the quality of life in the U.S. Furthermore, we analyze the ethical, legal, and social implications of deploying these technologies, addressing concerns about privacy, security, and the potential impact on employment and societal norms. By highlighting the benefits and challenges associated with these technological advancements, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of their significance to the U.S. It proposes a framework for responsibly navigating the future of superhumans and synthetic humans within the IoT and ubiquitous computing, suggesting policy recommendations and best practices. This research contributes to the ongoing dialogue about the role of emerging technologies in shaping the future of American society and the global community at large, paving the way for a more integrated, intelligent, and human-centric technological landscape.
