The Future of Brain-Computer Interfaces with Michael Witbrock

In a riveting episode of the AI Wisdom podcast, Charles delves deep into the world of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) with Michael Witbrock, the CEO of TransAxon. Michael, a unique blend of a CEO and a scientist, shares insights about TransAxon's groundbreaking approach to BCIs. Unlike invasive methods that require surgery, TransAxon is developing a non-invasive technique that leverages the body's biology. By converting non-neuron cells in the brain into neurons, they aim to establish a high-bandwidth connection to the brain without causing any physical damage. This connection, when established, would allow users to access the internet, perform complex calculations, and even interact with AI directly using their minds. The interface, designed to be on the skin's surface, can be easily removed, ensuring users always have control. Charles and Michael's conversation touches upon the potential of this technology, its challenges, and the exciting future it promises.
