The Future of AI .......and more

Future of AI: "Human Intelligence Augmented Artificial Intelligence" ?

Looking into the long term, we're already witnessing advancements in AI-enhanced humans, such as neural links and implants that assist individuals with physical limitations.

However, there is untapped potential in the human brain. New technologies may emerge to unlock this potential in conjunction with AI, allowing us to accomplish even greater feats. Imagine harnessing the idle processing power of our brains and using it to augment AI for various tasks—it would be phenomenal. A Human Intelligence Augmented Artificial Intelligence of sorts.

This concept could be likened to the Napster of human brains in a peer-to-peer network, although the exact form it would take is uncertain. Humans have previously attempted to utilize idle computing power for projects like the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Similarly, we could use AI to better understand our own brains and potentially address human problems.

This journey has just begun, and there is much to be excited about. It's not something to fear, but rather a source of enthusiasm and discovery. Of course, checks and balances are necessary to ensure responsible development, as humans have done for generations.
