Scientists to connect human brains directly to internet 'within decades'Humans could soon be able to access the world's knowledge and artificial intelligence simply by thinking about a specific topic or question, according to a new report. Scientists claim that, within decades, humans will have developed a way to connect their brains directly to the internet. The technology would allow "Matrix"-style downloading of information to the brain, according to the researchers from UC Berkeley and the US Institute for Molecular Manufacturing. It could even allow the creation of a "global superbrain" that would connect networks of individual human brains and AIs, to enable collective thought. An experimental human 'BrainNet' system has already been tested, enabling information exchange via the cloud between individual human brains.
