quite frankly, AI, is an oxymoron. AQ is really what we should expect. Artificial querry capacity. Humanity emerges from IQ EQ LQ FR JU GP DL and well....you get the point. Emergence is true, but get real on value and focus.
Stretched flat, the human neocortex -- the center of our higher mental functions -- is about the size and thickness of a formal dinner napkin. With 100 billion cells, each with 1,000 to 10,000 synapses; the neocortex makes roughly 100 trillion connections and contains 300 million feet of wiring packed with other tissue into a one-and-a-half-quart volume in the brain. And this is just the neocortex.
Some brain events occur in fractions of milliseconds while others, like long-term memory formation, can take days or weeks. One can study molecules, ion channels, single neurons, functional areas, circuits, oscillations and chemistry. Deciphering all the components and interactions that occur in the brain in piecemeal fashion remains complex. But even harder, will be to figure out how to integrate the different levels of analysis.
Mental health is the ultimate competitive weapon. Mental health underpins the development of intellectual capital and competitive advantage. It anchors the capacity of employees, managers and executives to think, use ideas, be creative and be productive. Like never before, businesses depend upon the consistent, sustainable mental performance of their employees.
By enabling a higher level of productivity, neurotechnology represents the next form of competitive advantage beyond information technology. Just as workers today leverage information technologies for competitive purposes, workers in the neurotechnology wave(2010-2060) willturn to neurotechnology to enhance their competitive performance.
