AI植入大腦是美夢還是惡夢？Elon Musk的未來AI藍圖

Elon Musk's 'brain chip' could be suicide of the mind, says scientist

自從馬斯克發表「人腦共生」的新發明後，又再次激起各界對AI的討論。眾人普遍同意現在以醫療方面考量，馬斯克的發明的確對人類有所助益，但若未來到了要兩者擇一的時候，我們能夠在不依賴AI的狀況下做選擇嗎？

Elon Musk introduced a room of engineers and curious consumers to a sci-fi-sounding invention made by his neurotechnology startup Neuralink: an implantable "brain chip" that will "merge biological intelligence with machine intelligence."

Per Musk's description, this chip will be installed in a person's brain by drilling a two-millimeter hole in the skull.
-
Musk argued that such devices will help humans deal with the so-called AI apocalypse, a scenario in which artificial intelligence outpaces human intelligence and takes control of the planet away from the human species.
-
In an op-ed for The Financial Times, cognitive psychologist and philosopher Susan Schneider said merging human brains with AI would be "suicide for the human mind."
-
Once technology is advanced enough for us to choose how much of the human brain we want to be merged with AI, it will be hard to draw the line on how much is too much. "Would it be at 15% neural replacement? At 75%? Any choice seems arbitrary," Schneider wrote.
