*Future Super-Shock*
Musk is no longer concerned solely with people with disabilities; he has the human species in sight, boasting that his long-term goal is to achieve “symbiosis with artificial intelligence.” Within five years, he forecasts one million <www.forbes.com/sites/danfitzpatrick/2024/12/17/elon-predicts-one-million-humans-will-be-augmented-by-neuralink-by-2030/> (healthy?) human users; within two decades, he foresees “hundreds of millions <lexfridman.com/elon-musk-and-neuralink-team-transcript/#chapter1_elon_musk>” of people with implanted Neurolink with “superhuman abilities.” Indeed, work has been done to stimulate cognition in Alzheimer’s patients, with cognitive enhancement of 30%.
*Legalities and Ethics of the Augmented Human*
The staggering ethical and legal implications are reminiscent of issues triggered by gene editing for cognitive “enhancement” to unleash human potential rather than therapeutic purposes. The problems are diverse. Here are some:
– Selective Availability: The technology will be pricy, affordable only by the wealthy, creating disproportionate “cognitive enhancement” by social and economic class. – Algorithmic Bias <www.theguardian.com/books/2024/feb/26/the-big-idea-should-we-all-be-putting-chips-in-our-brains>: The training is based on a subset of society and designed by another (primarily young white men). It raises concerns that implantees may begin to “think” like their programmer or the underlying data model, implanting social biases directly into our minds. Perhaps the concern epitomizes the refrain: Garbage In-Garbage Out. – Privacy: These concerns will exponentially explode as outsiders gain access to our neural data. Current commercialized technologies exploiting only our actions often contain- unread user agreements allowing the information to be sold to the highest bidder, “,…[like] an insurance company, or the North Korean Army.” – An assault on someone’s psyche (a subset of bodily autonomy) would be considered an intentional tort, even a battery. Somehow, that concern isn’t even raised. – There is concern about hacking by “dark forces.” Cyber-attacks on our health systems and medical devices, like fetal and baby monitors and even the ubiquitous Apple Watch, have already happened. [2] Sabotaging neural computer security is not a matter of if; it’s a when.
The dangers of enhanced memory transcend social justice concerns, demonstrating the siloed thinking of entrepreneurs not versed in neurobiology. The goal, as apparently envisioned by Musk, is total recall. This is neither good nor healthy.
“Active forgetting <pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5657245/>, along with attention, acquisition, and consolidation, is … part of the brain’s biological system for managing memories.”
The biological role of forgetting remains under scientific investigation <pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5657245/#abstract1>. Recent sleep studies <www.frontiersin.org/journals/cellular-neuroscience/articles/10.3389/fncel.2019.00071/full> demonstrate the brain must purge <www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2400743122> unnecessary memories to keep from overloading, like a hard drive exceeding its memory capacity. Computerized memory enhancement does not discern which memories to keep and which to jettison, not only for optimal cognitive processing but for the sake of salvaging the psyche. Total recall would likely be a curse rather than a benefit Musk conjures.
We are entering the “Brave” unregulated new world of mind control without legal restraint or international limitations. Technologists argue that regulation will hamper innovation, but once created, technology is akin to Pandora’s box, a gift carrying the curse of curiosity, unwittingly unleashing unimaginable horrors.
The goal of human enhancement is riddled with noble aspirations and anticipated profits —along with an alarming lack of oversight. Will the same companies enlarging their coffers by tracking our every click, swipe, and purchase, control the technology that can rewrite memories, influence thoughts, and manipulate emotions?
In the rush to marry AI, we risk becoming something less human, not more. Perhaps more ominous is the accompanying hubris. In the future, techologically enhanced thinking will make it so. It seems we are about to one-up God. Even He had to use speech to will things into existence.
