IMPLANTS IN OUR BRAIN

TO BECOME MORE INTELLIGENT ?

the amplification of brain power through the development of a "neural network".

"Today, the fundamental limitation between us and the machines is the entry and exit of information, and we are going to merge symbiotically with the artificial intelligence that will take us beyond our limits, using a direction interface, a kind of neural lace. "

Elon Musk is not the first boss of high-tech to embark on the challenge of the augmented human . Microsoft and Google have been looking for integrated devices for years to live longer.

But this entrepreneur of genius never ceases to amaze us: creator of the electric car Tesla and boss of SpaceX Elon Musk, it is launched in a new adventure more risky however. It is, it seems, aware by creating his new company Neuralink as revealed by his tweet:

"A long article on Neuralink will be published on (the blog) @waitbutwhy in a week or so.

Difficult to devote time but the existential risk is too high.

Because it is indeed implant in the brain to become more intelligent, to make the human more intelligent and strong in the face of artificial intelligence. "Chips" directly connected to the neurons and able to read their "code" and send back.

We can not ignore the philosophical and ethical questions raised by this project. Connect the brain to the computer does not pose the question of the risk of hacking or formatting human minds by computer ?

In short, control of the brain to be more explicit? Cyborgs straight out of Terminator.

Currently brain implants are used for neuroscience.

The rare "chips" inserted in a brain have a pure medical aim for vision, Parkinson's disease, paralysis or epilepsy ...
