AI will allow humans to ‘communicate via TELEPATHY’
AI will allow humans to ‘communicate via TELEPATHY’
HUMANS may soon be able to communicate without speaking a
word as a leading tech company develops “brain augmentation”.

Kernel – a business set up last year – is developing
technology that would give people super-intelligence like never seen before.
Bryan Johnson, who founded the company, presented the
idea of a “brain-computer interface”, which will also allow us to communicate
with machines.
It would also give people the capabilities to solve
incredibly complex problems in a matter of seconds.
Johnson said: "I'd argue this is a necessity for the
future and for our relevance.”

This is due to fears mankind will potentially be useless
in a world dominated by machines that can basically do most jobs.
He explained: "My definition of human is the fact
that I can be anything.
"I consider myself to be cognitively impaired
because I am limited by my biases, by my blind spots. I don't want the
limitations, I don't want those constraints, I want to break open.
“What is everybody so scared about losing? Do we not
spend our life trying to correct ourselves?
“I’m incredibly frustrated being human."
But according to Cnet, there are major concerns about the
cutting-edge technology.
In 2014, neurologist Phil Kennedy experimented with
implanting electrodes into his brain, which left him “locked-in” – a state of
total body paralysis where the brain is still functioning.
He eventually made a full recovery.
But scientist Mikhail Lebedev predicts brain augmentation
will soon be a widespread reality.
Earlier this year, he predicted it will be part of everyday
life by 2030.
