There have been movies, books, articles and all other types of media about the best online casino guide.

For some, it is a scary technology because it is so misunderstood. Many even believe the warnings from individuals such as Elon Musk, Prof.

Stephen Hawking, and others. Is AI an amazing tool or are scientists tossing the dice and potentially “summoning the demon?”

According to Neil Jacobstein, the head of AI at Singularity University – it isn’t AI you should be worried about, but instead, human stupidity.

During an Abundance 360 webinar, Bryan Johnson, the founder of Kernel (a new company) was interviewed.

His work is focused on merging HI (human intelligence) with AI.

Bryan Johnson – Founder of Kernel

Bryan Johnson isn’t a newly formed entrepreneur, in fact, his first endeavor – Braintree – which was founded in 2007 was bought by PayPal in 2013 for $800 million.

After that, Bryan launched OS Fund in 2014 with $100 million of his own personal capital to help support scientists and inventors who were trying to benefit humanity by rewriting life’s operating systems.

Some of the causes Bryan has invested in to date include:

• Endeavors to cure age-related diseases
• To help extend human life to 100+ years
• To replicate the visual cortex with AI
• To expand the access humanity has to resources
• To use autonomous vehicles for reinventing transportation
• To use biology to reimagine food
• To digitize analog businesses

…and many others.

There is no question that Bryan is a big thinker. Today, he is devoting his resources, energy and time to build “HI” with Kernel.

Kernel is backed by 15 years of research at USC and funded by DARPA, NIH, and others. They plan to begin human trials soon.

Now is the time to learn about HI, and neuroprosthetics and how AI comes into the picture to fully understand what Bryan and Kernel are trying to do.

HI, Neural Lace and BCI

The human brain is made up of 100 billion cells that are called neurons. These make 100 trillion synaptic connections.

The neurons and the connections they make control everything you feel, think and do.

Along with your sensory organs, these are the systems that shape the way you view the world.

In some situations, they may fail. This is when neuroprosthetics comes in.

A neuroprosthetic is an electronic device that replaces the function of the impaired or damaged sensory organs or nervous systems.

These are not new – for example, the first cochlear implant was placed in 1957 to help the deaf hear.

To date, more than 350,000 have been implanted to restore hearing for deaf people all around the world.

However, these represent just a small glimpse into what scientists refer to as the brain-computer interface – BCI.

This is the direct pathway of communication between the brain and an external computing device.

The current vision for BCI includes interfacing CNS with the digital world to help repair or augment human cognition.

Kernel is working to make things such as the “neural lace” a reality today.

Once this is successful, people will have access to brain-computer interfaces, allowing you to fix and augment yourself.

As a result, this can help with the successful merge of AI and people becoming something beyond just human.

HI – Human Intelligence

Since the beginning of time, people have created tools of intelligence. From rocks to calculators, thermostats, computers and now – AI.

These are all extensions of humans, and these tools have helped to increase user’s intelligence.

Today, the tools have become so sophisticated that they are being incorporated into human biology.

To some, this is equivalent to taking evolution into their own hands.

Now, Kernel and Bryan Johnson are focused on technologies used to augment HI.

There are several questions that have to be answered. For example, is it possible to mimic the natural occurrence of neurons firing?

If this can be recreated, and circuitry can be restored or even maintained – it poses the question – is it possible to improve the circuitry?

If so, memories could be made stronger – or weaker. Scientists could begin to work with the neural code the same way they do biological code.

They may even be able to merge HI with AI.

Bryan believes that AI merged with HI is not something that is just going to be featured in sci-fi movies and books in the future.

It is something that his company is actively working to develop to better humans, their life and to better understand their own minds.
