Artificial Intelligence Meets Actual Intelligence: Would you connect your brain to the internet?

Posted on by

Before you laugh at the notion and discount the idea as science fiction, you might be surprised to learn that many really smart people are trying to make this happen, and they are making real progress.

Exhibit A: The MIT Media Lab in NYC

Skip ahead one minute into this 60 minute video

 

Exhibit B: A company named Neuralink

Neuralink is interesting primarily because of the man who is behind it, Elon Musk. You may know who he is already, but for those that don’t, he has been involved in a just a handful of successful endeavors. Among them is the invention of a computer with four wheels that can driver really fast and runs on electric, commonly referred to as a Tesla. Oh yeah, and it can dance.

Dancing cars are cool, but Musk feels that artificial intelligence could be a risk to the human race, and if you can’t beat it, join it. He reasons that we are all “cyborgs” already, part human and part machine, thanks to the modern smartphone. Our input system (sight) is high bandwidth, he says, but we have an output bottleneck to contend with…two thumbs. He created a company with the goal of solving that problem by finding a way to connect our brain to the internet.

STOP RIGHT THERE, MUSK!

My brain is one network that must remain air gapped for all time. We can’t reliably protect my WiFi thermostat, let alone the super computer inside our head that makes you, you and me, me. I would imagine that most information security professionals will react similarly, but as technologists many would accept the risk so we can be super CISOs and the like. But fear not! The rest of us will still have jobs. How do I know? We will always need someone to protect the internet connected brains from a massive and devastating denial of service attack, and it will be the non-internet connected mortals that will have to do it.

Before you assume I lost my non-internet connected mind, rest assured most of this article was written in jest. But all kidding aside, let’s figure out how to protect artificial intelligence consistently before we put our actual intelligence at risk. Many technology experts, including Musk, are concerned about the weaponization of artificial intelligence, which is a ship that has already left the dock. I would much rather see artificial intelligence leveraged to create self-patching software or a programming language that can keep our data safe without the contingency of developer perfection. Until then, I’ll work within the constraints of having two thumbs,and be grateful for the extra four fingers on each hand that allowed me to generate this output at about 65 wpm.

Thanks for reading and don’t forget to subscribe.

  1. Hi Matt,

    Tomorrow’s technology, as bizarre as it may be, does have a lot of genuinely good potential. Though, as always, we need to be careful of the flipside of the genuinely good potential. That’s why the world needs a lot of super CISOs and armies of skilled technologists.

    It’s a whole new world…

    • Hi Mike. Judging from this weeks headlines, Elon will have some extra time on his hands as they oust him from being chairman of the Tesla board.

      P.S. I guess I have to brush off my Mavis Beacon training kit…

  69. This was equal parts hilarious and thought-provoking. The “air-gapped brain” line is perfect—exactly how most of us in security probably feel! The Neuralink discussion raises important questions, though. We’re racing toward deeper integration with tech without having mastered the basics of securing what we already have.

    I loved your point about needing non-connected humans to defend the hyper-connected ones. It’s kind of like how in creative industries, analog perspective still grounds digital tools. I’ve seen that balance play out even in design spaces like NookTee, where digital meets real-world expression.
