Prof. Newton Howard, a Brain and Cognitive Scientist, the former Director of the MIT Mind Machine Project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and currently a Professor of Computational Neuroscience and Functional Neurosurgery at the University of Oxford, where he directs the Oxford Computational Neuroscience Laboratory participates in Risk Roundup to discuss "Mind Control Technology". Since the beginning of times, we humans have been creating tools to help us interact with the world around us. Now we are moving inwards and developing the tools to help us communicate with the world inside us. While the nature of tools has evolved from physical to digital, and now neural, our brain is effectively becoming the tool for interaction, communication, collaboration, and control. From electrode in many different shapes being implanted in the human brain to transmit and receive signals to non-invasive devices that translate brain waves into commands that control not only computer but also body parts are already becoming a reality.

Due to the increasing involvement of state players in automation warfare, when AI-driven automation is on its way to becoming a war weapon, what will it mean for an enterprise to stay competitive for survival? Artificial intelligence is redefining the very meaning of being an enterprise. The rapidly advancing artificial intelligence (AI) capability is on its way to revolutionizing every aspect of an enterprise. The ability to access data has leveled the playing field and brought every enterprise a unique possibility of progress. What needs to be seen is in this level playing field, which enterprises will be able to compete and lay a new foundation for fundamental transformation and which ones will decline.

"Is artificial intelligence less than our intelligence?" Every month, we publish three roundups on Enablon Insights: EHS Roundup, Sustainability Roundup, Risk Roundup. Each roundup highlights ten articles or online resources that caught our attention and that deserve a second look. Sometimes, one of the articles is so interesting that we write a separate post to highlight it. This is such a post.

Over the years, the advances in computing and computing systems have delivered tremendous progress, development and benefits to individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations and academia (NGIOA). As they continue to do so; the emerging computing systems, cognitive systems, are expected to forever change the way we the humans will interact with computers and computing systems in all formats. The rise of "cognitive computing" brings us a new beginning, a new age, where computers with human like intelligence and cognitive abilities, works hand in hand with humans and human intelligence in solving complex problems facing humanity in cyberspace, geospace and space (CGS). As computers begin to understand humans and think like human beings, they will undoubtedly increase human intelligence, human capabilities, reach and knowledge that would allow them to explore more, understand more, make accurate predictions and draw intelligent conclusions. So, does this mean that we are moving into an era where computers can augment human knowledge, ingenuity, cooperation and collaboration in entirely new ways?

Welcome to Risk Roundup, an integrated Cyber-Security and Strategic-Security Risk Podcast. Each one of us across nations currently stands on the verge of the most turbulent and transformative period in all of human history. As Information Technology, Genetics, Synthetic Biology, Nanotechnology, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things and Blockchain merge and converge to make the once unachievable imagination possible, it is not only human and robot intelligence that will merge and create unthinkable possibilities, the likes of molecular manufacturing and synthetic biology will also bring earth shattering potential to build virtually any physical and/or chemical item quickly and inexpensively directly from pure information and /or organisms--creating complex security risks and challenges for each nation: its government, industries, organizations and academia (NGIOA). The computer code, connected computers, internet and rapidly emerging technological convergence that is close to reaching the commercialization stage is about to create a technological tsunami. This will not only fundamentally change human lives, but will also create new industries, destroy a few industries, impact a large number of industry sectors, evaporate a number of businesses, create significant amount of hi-tech specialized and skilled jobs, destroy a large number of unskilled jobs, collapse a few nations and change the nature of an unprecedented number of security risks.

Welcome to Risk Roundup, an integrated Cyber-Security and Strategic-Security Risk Podcast hosted by Risk Group Founder Jayshree Pandya PhD. With each episode, we'll sit down with the decision makers from across nations: its government, industries, organizations and academia (NGIOA). It's a peek behind the scenes of existing and emerging risks from cyberspace, geospace and space (CGS) --a first-hand conversation with the people who are shaping the digital global age. Each one of us across nations currently stands on the verge of the most turbulent and transformative period in all of human history. As Information Technology, Genetics, Nanotechnology, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing and Blockchain merge and converge to make the once unachievable imagination possible, it is not only human and robot intelligence that will merge and create unthinkable possibilities, the likes of molecular manufacturing will also bring earth shattering potential to build virtually any physical item quickly and inexpensively directly from pure information--creating complex security risks and challenges for each nation: its government, industries, organizations and academia (NGIOA).

Risk Roundup is an integrated cyber-security and strategic security risk dialogue for nations: its government, industries, organizations and academia (NGIOA) in cyberspace, geospace and space (CGS). Each one of us across nations currently stands on the verge of the most turbulent and transformative period in all of human history. As Information Technology, Genetics, Nanotechnology, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing and Blockchain merge and converge to make the once unachievable imagination possible, it is not only human and robot intelligence that will merge and create unthinkable possibilities, the likes of molecular manufacturing will also bring earth shattering potential to build virtually any physical item quickly and inexpensively directly from pure information--creating complex security risks and challenges for each nation: its government, industries, organizations and academia (NGIOA).

It will be by far much more complex and much bigger than any security risks we face in cyberspace-geospace-space (CGS) currently!

Risk Group, an independent and integrated strategic risk research organization, is happy to announce the launch of Risk Roundup, an integrated strategic risk dialogue facing nations: its government, industries, organizations and academia (NGIOA) in cyberspace, geospace and space (CGS). Nations currently stand on the verge of the most transformative period in all of human history. As Information Technology, Genetics, Nanotechnology, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence merge and converge to make the once impossible imagination, possible, it is not only human and machine intelligence that will merge and create unthinkable possibilities: The likes of Molecular manufacturing will bring earth shattering potential to build virtually any physical item quickly and inexpensively directly from pure information. The pace of technological change coming our way will be so rapid, its impact so deep, that human life, its expectations and experiences, will be irreversibly transformed. It will also change the whole global dynamics, security and power structure.
