AI's Corporate Takeover? (With Mark Johnson)

So let's do a little future casting.

One of the things you talked about when you were here in DC at the AEI event, you talked about BCI, Brain Computer Interface.

Is that it? Yes.

So let's talk about that because that sounds fascinating and maybe a little frightening to some people, but I find it fascinating.

Yeah.

So BCI stands for Brain Computer Interface.

And I was really interested in this.

I went to South by Southwest this past fall.

And if you go, you just call it South by, but When I was down there, I was fascinated by all these companies that were doing BCI.

And many people know Neuralink, and that's the Elon Musk company.

And that's really kind of like you think about the Wright Brothers.

That's like Langley.

It's very well known.

Everyone's thinking about it.

A lot of media attention, a lot of support.

And there's these other companies that are more similar to the Wright Brothers.

Parandromics is one of them that I was able to find in some of the research that I wrote for the Forbes article.

But there are a lot of really smart people out of Stanford that are working on this and trying to get FDA approval.

But the real idea is to How could you have an interface that connects the brain in order to a computer system? And so rather than this very analog way of you pick up your phone, you use your thumbs, you use your voice, you use your different ways of interacting with your device.

What if it was all

connected?

And so my hypothesis and just looking, you know, future casting out is that the least invasive technology is going to win.

So people are going to wear something that is, you know, maybe it's a strap that goes underneath their hair or maybe it's some way to connect behind the ear.

It's going to be very minimally invasive.

I don't think the most vision vision is where you're actually doing brain surgery in order to insert things.
