Among the most advanced revolutionaries Three fields stand out that are transforming not only the scientific fieldbut also the nature of what it means to be human: development of brain cells grown in laboratories capable of learning, brain computer interfaces (BCI) and the artificial intelligence.
Advances that until recently belonged to the Science fictiontoday have become tangible realities that lead towards a dizzying technological future. I found out what the technological advances that are causing the most impact in the scientific and technological sector.

Neuralink and Cortical Labs are two companies that have already promoted research and development that merges AI with biology.
The development of AI in medicine
Neuralink
Neuralink of Elon Muskhas made an incredible breakthrough to merge the human brain with artificial intelligence through interface technology brain-computer latest generation.
In their recent research, they have implemented a chip with 128 connectors directly to a person’s brain, managing to communicate with a person who suffers from quadriplegia, whose objective is for the humans communicate directly with the machines.
Development reflects a race against limitations of biological evolution, projecting it towards a future where intellectual capacities can expand exponentially.
Cortical Labs
Another revolutionary advance that happened in parallel was the use of cultured brain cells in the laboratory so that they interact with digital environments; Australian scientists managed to make this type of cells They will play the video game Pong.
Cortical Labs was the startup that achieved this achievement thanks to DishBriana group of 800,000 cells that were taught to react to the dynamics of the game through electrodes and that over time they improved their way of playing.
This experiment represents a step towards biological systems integration with digital worlds, suggesting a future where the division between the biological and digital realms is increasingly blurred.
Artificial Intelligences
The evolution of the Artificial Intelligencesare marked by their ability to perform tasks that once required human intelligence, such as language translation, art creation, and so on.
“The convenience of these three way (brains interacting with computers, lab-grown brain cells learning to play, and AIs) is not simply a coincidence but an indication of a broader race toward a future that may redefine what it means to be.”human“” he highlighted Javier SerafiniCEO of CAT Technologies.
Uncertainties posed by AI
This career is not exempt from dilemmas and questionsaspects such as privacy, autonomy and the potential to increase inequality due to access to such technologies should be of utmost concern.
It is imperative that as these advances occur, that society engages in a deep and thoughtful dialogue about the direction of these technologies.
“The future shaped by these technologies promises to be as exciting and uncertaininviting us to approach him with curiosity, but also with caution,” they added from CAT Technologies.
