For my A1 analysis I’ve chosen to look at Brain Computer Interface technology. I’m considering it through a lens of Musk’s theory that we need to integrate with computers. Neuralink has been in the news for major milestones in this field this year.

I invite you to answer one of the following questions, or give your own feedback on the topic.
- If you had the opportunity to get a BCI implant of some sort, invisible to others, that would give you far greater cognitive abilities, without negative health impacts, would you do it? If not, would it bother you if other people did?
- In a society where some humans that have integrated BCI, have an asymmetric advantage over others, would society be better off as a whole or not?
- As an educator, what do you think will be the most important skill set of learners in a future where AI and BCI are prevalent?
