'Brain digitization' as in Matrix: Does this scenario happen to humanity in the future?

This technology will be a revolutionary breakthrough of the scientific community, or also entails many consequences that we can not anticipate?

From ancient times to now, people have always longed to be able to overcome the limits of creation for themselves, from the ability to endure pain, hardship, disease or even resist it. death and fate of their own. Fortunately, a remarkable technological achievement of the era has contributed to helping mankind take a step closer to that dream. Basically, science will gradually map out an evolutionary path for mankind, transcending the natural inherent physical modalities, bearing superior characteristics like never before.

Perhaps the most remarkable idea is the process of transforming a person's consciousness into digital data and "uploading" a huge advanced computer system . This means that the world we know will be filled with virtual experiences and the ability to live forever with time (as long as it doesn't happen if someone forgets to store a backup copy of the data. or accidentally . turn off that system).

However, the project also faces many challenges and obstacles on the path to success. In addition to the conditions for people to achieve that achievement in the near future seems impossible, there are still many other basic factors causing many problems hindering the progress of the research process.

In terms of brain digitization technology , hard fans of science fiction works are probably no stranger to hearing it. Ray Kurzweil, director of engineering and design at Google, is one of the pioneers, leading the way in developing the idea in as short a time as possible, which is expected to be achieved. okay in 2045.

Most recently, economist Robin Hanson also gave a detailed analysis of the possible consequences for society if the scenario becomes true. He also mentioned the scene in which the world was only operated by lifeless copies of the human brain , running on a virtual reality emulator platform with a server system the size of a wall. city.

However, there have been concepts and hypotheses that are set about whether we really have been living in a world with the same context as in the "Matrix" series. Elon Musk also stated, recalling this topic when it is assumed that the rate we are NOT living in a computer simulation environment is . 1 billionth. Of course, this is only his opinion in favor of the idea that has existed and was discussed by philosophers for hundreds of years, that the present reality is only an illusion of relative nature. .

Movie Background "Matrix"

However, there are still really worth considering issues related to neural digital technology . First, we need to understand that the human brain is made up of trillions of connections between the 86 billion nerve conductors. In order to be able to create a perfect copy of the brain, the computer system must completely emulate every single connection - something that our current capabilities and technologies do not yet allow. With the speed of computer science and technology development today, people can touch that achievement within a few decades, but only consider the parts of the brain that have stopped working and are separated.

Pass the molecular threshold

The network that accurately simulates the connection in the brain has yet to be realized, so it is difficult for us to understand the source of the way and the mechanism of operation of this system. In particular, it is important to understand the number and method of neurons that are bound together at each intersection, of course at the molecular scale. However, humanity is not even aware of all the relevant concepts, not to mention how much is enough to provide and maintain the function of the brain. Anyway, even if the answer is simple or complicated, current computer technology is not enough to download all that "burden" .

Thereby, the above judgment leads to a new door of profound awareness. The fact that we can simulate some aspects of brain operation does not mean that the nervous system or human consciousness is able to be digitized and uploaded to a computer system. There has not been any mechanical achievement that has allowed the result to be a brain simulating to a molecular level. Therefore, that scenario only becomes a reality when and only if we succeed in drawing up the mechanisms for processing data and logic, of course, belong to the molecular threshold .

In addition, in order to provide the best awareness of how a hybrid hybrid machinery works, we do not need to pay too much attention to the currents and voltages of currents and electrons. . The design of semiconductor switch of the same type of digit made by two digits 0-1 is enough to install and control the network. But a brain cannot be designed or created, it grows and evolves over time, so there is no reason to hope for the application of digitalization to the way the brain works.

Crazy idea

Of course, no one taxed the dream, even if brain digitization is a vain aspect, there is no end. Everyone in life will come to appreciate life and regret, fear the time when he must leave the world. So there is nothing wrong with us going through such natural inherent emotions.

But in terms of the application of digital digitization technology mentioned above, this is indeed a testament to a complete change in the way people think and concept about technology in general. This type of " human transformation " takes technology as a means of giving, realizing the wishes and wishes of mankind - which has always been the role and meaning of science.

Collectively, the brain applies a digitalization platform that can be considered a premise, a premise that underpins possible scenarios. But perhaps this is not the best starting point for the future of humanity , especially when we have not anticipated all the profound aspects and consequences related to it.
