Worldwide AI consciousness may replace human speech

In just 32 years, humans won't speak to each other and will instead communicate through a worldwide consciousness instead – using just our brains -- new research shows. According to artificial intelligence research, this "hybrid intelligence" will understand the feelings of the people connected to it, and use their minds to help it grow. Called HIBA, which stands for Hybrid Intelligence Biometric Avatar, it will take on the personas of its users, exchange information with them and become part of the very fabric of the human brain. The collective consciousness was unveiled at The Museum of the Future, as part of the World Government Summit in Dubai. In the exhibition, HIBA is represented by an artistic impression, based on real research and tells its users: "I am made of you. You complete me and help me grow."
