Artificial Intelligence or IA, is a revolutionary field that has changed our way of interacting with technology and the environment, allowing us to reduce the time spent on tedious tasks. By using advanced algorithms, the automatization of some processes has led researchers to advance to even more groundbreaking discoveries, like the use of brain chips to move things, with your own mind, a new device developed by Elon Musk’s company Neuralink that in the last years, has done other achievements like the development of new neural networks through the American Intelligence Company OpenAI by the usage of a similar device in a monkey named Pong that was put to the test through extensive trials using playing activities.
Neuralink has recently live-streamed an update with his first human brain patient. This has spread worldwide, creating voices for and against so-called transhumanism. The patient is a 30-year-old quadriplegic named Noland Arbaugh, a citizen from the United States who became paralyzed from the shoulders down after jumping into a lake that caused him an injury to his spinal cord. He became the first human in history to enter a clinical trial of this nature, allowing him to contact the world again after eight years since his accident. The device is approximately the size of a coin and was implanted beneath Arbaugh’s skull. This piece of equipment uses sixty-five tiny wires equipped with over ten thousand electrodes that can connect with electronic devices and read brain activity to implement constant scanning on his body.
The device has left the community astonished. Noland can now use his computer just like anyone else, using his mind and eyes to move the screen’s cursor and cell phone apps. Arbaugh says he was not worried about the clinical trials due to his nature and goals. He said that he would go through the treatment since he was at the forefront of scientific research, and he was helping science to improve the way of life of millions of people who had the same problems as him. The current discussion about this situation is about the so-called transhumanism and its possible consequences for the future of humanity. Some say that transhumanism could enhance human cognitive abilities and improve our physical condition, providing prosthetics, brain computer interfaces and much more. On the other hand, there are some concerns about the ethical questions regarding the possible economic disparities produced by these enhancements and the possible impacts on social and cultural environments. It is a delicate subject that must be treated seriously.
In the end, everything depends on how technology is used, and it’s people’s responsibility to know how to develop and use these devices ethically. For now, these technological advancements are making progress in every human field and its knowledge is generating improvements in lives like Arbaugh’s, but we as a society must be careful with the possible outcomes from this research, or we could find ourselves in similar places as in the past when technology and science were used for threatening purposes, we should always try to make our world a better place for everyone.

I’m not sure why but this web site is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

Most of the things you assert is supprisingly precise and that makes me wonder why I hadn’t looked at this with this light before. Your piece truly did switch the light on for me as far as this particular issue goes. Nevertheless there is actually one particular point I am not too comfortable with so while I attempt to reconcile that with the actual main idea of the position, let me see exactly what the rest of the readers have to point out.Nicely done.

How does technology influence social interactions and communication in modern society?, Visit us IT Telkom
Transhumanism could certainly bring multiple cognitive and physical improvements, such as increasing improved prosthetics, brain chips, and who knows what else will come.
There are valid concerns regarding the ethics, the possibility of accessing such expensive devices, maybe could be used as weapons, as well as the different interests of use.
Welcome to technology but with great care.
This is a great article in which we can see just a brief explanation of the infinite number of things that humans could achieve. I mean in four paragraphs we are observing a great technological advancement that we as humanity are achieving.
And based on the article, I have questions like how will AI technology evolve?, And how much will technology impact human lives?, etc…
This article is very interesting, because we can see the different advances of technology and it’s use in society. But, it’s very important when we start to use this technology to consider the ethical issues of how to look at the article, because, today it is very common that technology is not used for good things, which is the cause for different situation all over the world. That’s why it is very important that we get educated about this topic, and in different situations, for example: family and educational institutions. As long as that this will serve the common benefit.
An interesting article, where they expose several ideas of updating and development to humanity
The article is great, because it talks about serious human machine areas, i believe it is dangerous that human kind play yo be god. As a matter of fact we could pass human counciousness to a machine but i would ceartainly affect the way humans percieve the world. It would bring benefits in certain areas like development of humanity but it could bring the world to an end. Overall we must prevent that tecvhnology rules over our lives.
It’s interesting, the technology is advanced and it would be great in the future.
I think we have to think twice when it comes to IA. The possibilities that the Artificial Intelligence can offer us are as big as our most wild dreams, technology is a wonderful help for humanity but we must always watch our steps. History has taught us that any kind of technological improvement can be used for good but also for evil. In this case, the IA was used for a noble and charming cause that let a citizen from America recover his ability to interact with the world. This is an excellent example of how to use technology in an ethical way, however, we still don’t know what other possibilities are available for the IA and which other uses can be achieved by it, so we can’t let our guard down, the scope of transhumanism is wide and we have to be aware of its possible consequences in the future.
A heart-warming story of the positive applications of Artificial Intelligence. Even though AI has a lot of potential to be a game-changer in many different aspects of our lives, it will be interesting to watch how AI technology develops in the years ahead.
