Hello, if the brain chip is successful, I personally won't go for the implant. Once the chip is implanted, does it mean that others can hack into our brains and download neural information at will? Such scenarios are commonplace in sci-fi movies, and I'm sure no one would want to go through that in reality.
But what if everyone around you did? Imagine your coworkers were performing better than you, your friends were talking to you and you couldn't quite understand, would you upgrade your brain then?
Most of the BCI research so far has focused on medical applications, but scientists believe it could also be used to improve the brains of healthy people.
Scientists believe the advantage of BCI is that a tweaked brain expands the potential of the human brain, and humans can make decisions alongside artificial intelligence.
Today when we encounter problems, in order to solve the dilemma, we often turn to artificial intelligence devices, a problem, the phone search.
But at this point, with the help of BCI, the decision of the human brain, coupled with another completely independent machine making a decision based on the same information, and then merging these two decisions together, will definitely work better than either one working alone.
We already use computers and smartphones as a memory aid, using them to store our work, photos, calendars and conversations.
What if one day BCIs could increase the amount of memory available to our brains enough to store memories of everything we've ever experienced and never forget a face or a name?
In clinical trials we can improve people's short-term memory by stimulating the hippocampus, and can improve performance by 35%, so it's all possible.
Then the question arises. How much of the brain do we need to retain to consider it the same person?
When a person replaces their brain with too many artificial parts, does that mean that, without realizing it, they kill off the original self?
Since it's a product, in principle, similar to beauty treatments nowadays, and once it's circulated in the marketplace, those who are the first to accept it and are relatively affluent may be prioritized to use it, who is going to make sure that there is equal opportunity?
There is also the issue of "brain hacking" that people are most concerned about.
Once a chip is implanted, does it mean that others can hack into our brains and download neural information at will? Such scenarios are commonplace in sci-fi movies, and I'm sure no one would want to go through that in reality.
What's more, even if BCI is allowed to circulate globally, how to ensure that its use is regulated in countries with poor security is the biggest concern for most people.
Fearful, but unstoppable, the conflict persists.
So the technology itself is not scary, what is scary is that with it we are slowly abandoning ethics and social morality.
