What if AI implants were implanted in human brains?
Artificial intelligence is all over the place!
Our houses, automobiles, schools, and workplaces are all examples of this.
It's at our fingertips, right in front of our eyes, and we can wear it.
So, when, if ever, does it come to a halt?
How close can our devices reasonably go to us?
Hello, my name is Kunal Katke, and today we're going to address an incredible question:
What if AI implants were implanted in human brains?
Do you have a thing for facts?

First and first, AI is beneficial.
It excels at detecting patterns in data, sorting large amounts of data, and drawing logical conclusions.
It enables us to look for information more quickly, interpret numerous languages, and carry out our daily tasks as quickly as possible.
It's becoming increasingly capable of replicating high
-
level cognitive activities that we long thought only humans could handle.
And, as we learn more about how our brains work
that is, our real, biological brains
efforts are being made to improve them using artificial intelligence, in order to improve things like memory, reaction times, and even our emotions.
But how is this even possible?
Dreem, Thync, and Elon Musk's Neuralink are among the firms creating devices that employ machine learning software to analyze brain data, with widely used brain

computer interfaces as the final objective.
These groups have a lot of money behind them, and digital corporations like Facebook have joined in on the trend.
Even the US military is looking into it.
Although the ideas and methods vary from company to company and project to project, suggested implants all have one thing in common: a way of reading brain data, analyzing its patterns, and using that information to generate signals of their own
to supplement our "conventional" brain activity.
However, there are concerns from the start... mostly about the invasive measures that such a device would have to take, as well as the possibility of security breaches, effective brain hacks, and the possibility that intelligent enough implants could one day simply override our normal, human brain activity.
According to those who oppose them, this isn't a standard sci

fi future in which humans are pitted against machines; it's one in which humans are the robots!
Surprisingly, brain implants have been studied- to a limited extent- since they were first used to elicit involuntary movements in insects in the 1970s.
But things aren't all doom and gloom fifty years later.
Brain implants have been developed with good applications in mind in general.
It's envisaged that the technique would aid in the treatment of degenerative neurological illnesses and the prevention of brain damage that can be predicted.
Implants may one day be able to target ultra
-
specific parts of the brain, allowing them to deliver medications or perform tests to substantially lower the severity of diseases such as ALS, MS, Parkinson's, or Alzheimer's.
Implants have already been administered to individuals with these illnesses in some situations, with good results.
If neural implants continue to progress as a healthcare tool, they will undoubtedly be considered a success!
But what if they were to be utilized for something else?
Beyond treating sickness, implants may be used in the not

distant future to maximize healthy brains, particularly in terms of memory longevity and clarity.
If we had an effective "memory chip" inside our heads, we could theoretically have access to anything we needed at any time.
Anything we'd learned in school; instructions for setting up anything in our homes; directions to any location we'd choose to visit
it could no longer be "lost" and would just "appear" when needed.
The same ideas would apply to our general mindfulness and stress levels; we'd no longer need to meditate, count backwards from ten, or even take a deep breath if we were upset, because we'd be able to buy a product an implant—that would take care of everything for us. On the one hand, it sounds like joy, but on the other, it has the potential to be highly problematic, as with most things related to neural chips.
We could become complacent, lazy, and even oblivious to our own emotions if we don't have to study or even pay attention to how we feel.
In the worst
-
case scenario, we'd gradually relinquish authority to a machine that takes care of everything.
Even if it's a worst
-
case scenario,
it's not a pleasant concept!
If neural implants become a standard or even commercial piece of user tech that's employed for more than just medical needs, there's a societal impact to consider.
People may live longer and be healthier as a result of implants, but we may also become completely dependent on them.
That implies whoever or whichever corporation is in charge of developing, maintaining, or updating them has a significant amount of power!

When pushed far enough, it becomes a moral, ethical, and practical quandary.

built implants would dehumanize them, according to the other.
In other sports, chips designed to help athletes manage with pressure, the highs and lows of competition, and possibly even exhaustion, could totally transform the game.
With alternatives for our actual brains to be plugged into the consoles, eSports gamers may have improved reaction speeds, and video games in general would be a completely immersive experience, even more so than they are now.
If neural implants become more commonly used, we may all find ourselves with abilities that are tailored to our unique vocations, responsibilities, and careers.
Our senses are tinkered with, our sleeping habits are regulated, and our thoughts are arranged.
Brain implants, as possibly the "ultimate device," may even render most other technologies obsolete.
We'd have a "hive mind" in the truest sense if we put all of our implant data into some kind of cloud setup.
We'd be well on our way to perfection for some.
Our brains are already incredible structures, but they would become even more so.
But for others, we'd be well on our way to annihilation
or at the very least, mind

numbing blandness.We'd all be good
even great
in what we do, but at the risk of sacrificing our values, personalities, and uniqueness.
And, with just one system flaw or breach, we'd all be vulnerable to major data breaches, with even our unique thoughts at risk!
Even now, when a global implant rollout is still just a concept, there are initiatives to update our understanding of human rights to incorporate principles on mental property ownership...
And it's not difficult to understand why!
The danger is that if every brain is implanted, we would lose our ability to choose how we want to live, our ability to make individual decisions, and, eventually, our grasp on our own free will.
So, if they were optional, we'd almost certainly see a large number of individuals refuse them.
Any implanted brain would now be obsolete and outperform a regular biological brain.
However, some people may find it difficult to strike a balance between the pros and the negatives.
There are few things in modern science that are more fascinating, innovative, or hopeful than a pioneering healthcare device...
But there are also some unanswered questions.
For centuries, these tiny gadgets embedded into our bodies will be at the center of ethical debate...
That's what would happen if AI implants were implanted in human brains.
What are your thoughts?
Is there anything we forgot to mention?
