AI Nanomachines Could Soon Allow Us To Control Things With Our Minds

Artificial Intelligence (AI) will more than likely bring about the next technological renaissance. Although it's capable of some extraordinary things already, it's not quite at the revolutionary stage yet – but that doesn't stop people in the know making some intriguing predictions. Enter John McNamara, a senior inventor and the Innovation Centre Technologist Lead at IBM. He was recently giving evidence to the UK Parliament's House of Lords AI Committee, and he said that by around 2040, AI nanomachines being injected into our blood streams – effectively creating machine-augmented humans – will be a reality. "These will provide huge medical benefits, such as being able to repair damage to cells, muscles, and bones," he told those in session, adding that they could actually end up improving the original biological frameworks.
