Augmenting Your Brain with AI Chips – Crazy or Futuristic?

Improving the human brain with the help of implanted chips and AI: Elon Musk's startup Neuralink is among the companies developing this tech. Initial tests show it could be a game changer for people with disabilities.

I would like a logic brain chip, with all the rules of logic, like a class in logic 101 in my mind. I'm schizophrenic and I find it difficult to think and memorise. I also think that if I had this, I would be able to, if I ever went off my meds, think rationally before I succumb to my emotions. For me it would be a safety redundancy for myself and others in case I ever fall off the rails

It's both crazy and futuristic. If they can be remotely controlled, or have sleeper code aka malware, it can do a lot of harm away from its original use case

I imagine one of the biggest risks of chips in brains is people hacking/spreading viruses and the possibility of disruption of the chips from a vast majority of things. But if this stuff is ironed out and it doesn't happen I could see myself getting a brain chip.

I like to know more about what effect it would have on. Major depression and anxiety ...and memory...damage nerves in brain done by electricty..

Neuralink is early in its infancy, the device they have is pretty basic as far as being able to input and output signal. There’ll have to be years of testing to collect enough data for it to diagnose disease or infection which will be a game changer in terms of not knowing wether or not to go to a doctor or to even input and output signals for motor function. It’ll be a decade at least before privacy of thought becomes a concern for those with it, and even longer yet to learn what signal to put in what region of the brain to get a desired result, which undoubtedly would need a even more advanced chip for a more immersive experience. Which is where the primary concern lies, I believe all the right questions are being asked in the early stages of this tech to make it safer.

Will this be applicable for people with cerebral palsy? Use the brain chip to pick up the slack for the damaged part of the brain? Enabling people with CP to move and function like normal.

Having filmed segments of this DW story and repeatedly covered the immediate aftermath of incidents where individuals are starting their lives as paraplegics or in even more challenging conditions, this narrative offers hope. It suggests that such work may one day improve the lives of many.

Computer augmentation for our brains is great but there are biological efforts that can revolutionize how our minds work given man a heighten awareness in a multidimensional world. NEO X

What about skitzophrenia does it cure that

Photonic microwave generation using on chip frequency combs or SOLITON MICROCOMBS and LASERS for communication without speech is currently being tested as unlike Neuralink it is non-invasive.

No thank you no chips for me. If we ever have to use them, at all, chips should ONLY be used to help facilitate movement, etc.

But then what happens with my intrusive thoughts… if I send that email 😂

[PortmanRd]

Fascinating but at the same time scarey.
Rogue AI + Chipped humans = Borg

[evensenj]

Can youdownload unlimited knowledge in it?

[TheJokerReturns]

I mean, AI isnt helping us if it makes us extinct. However, if BCIs allow us to keep up, then this is good.

José Delgado and mind control, the very same thing, old technology, congrats on giving away God given free will

I want to volunteer myself . how can I meet Elon Musk

God create human good enough to ethically and morally value the essential of both soul and body. If we, as human, going to seek, Lord's wisdom is what He is willing to give us for free. No need for any upgrade...
