Brett Kagan

Neuroscientist Brett Kagan discusses creating brain cells to integrate with technology, curing diseases like Parkinson's, and ethical implications. They explore the transfer of real-world knowledge into neurons, potential for artificial intelligence, and measuring intelligence in biological systems. The conversation touches on consciousness, collaboration in science, and combining biological and silicon processing for specialized tasks.

Listen to Anders Sandberg, Bradley Love, Robin Hanson, and Brett Kagan at Vision Weekend France discussing the viability of brain emulation. They explore the complexity of mapping efforts, the importance of collaboration between biologists and computer scientists, and the potential of using neurons as an engineering resource. Achieving smaller milestones is crucial before envisioning the broader potential of brain emulation technology.
