Plugging human brains into the digital universe : AI-Chip

 

A rapid growing number of people say that they would like to plug their own brains directly into the digital universe sometimes soon, which of course also means AI. And the technology is now available to begin to do just that.

In the US, 5% of eighteen to twenty-nine- years old, definitely would consider a wireless chip inserted into their own brains over the next twelve months, while 8% probably would. This means one in eight young adults in the US are seriously thinking about becoming digitally enhanced in some way. Across US adults of all ages, 5% are definitely or probably interested in having such an implant within a year.

The US survey followed a month after news of the first human  implant of an AI brain chip, made by the neurotechnology company Neuralink, which took place in January 2024, Neuralink, just one of many firms in this market, has a capital value of $5bn.

 The device was implanted neurosurgeons into the healthy brain of Noland Arbaugh, a twenty-nine-years old quadriplegic, paralysed from below his shoulders following a fiving accident eight years previously. They placed it in the area of his brain which normally controls movement and he was able to return home the following day.
