On episode 377 of the BlockHash Podcast, Neil Sahota joins me to discuss the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the world in 2024. For the past 20 years, Neil has worked with numerous Fortune 500 companies and government leaders to identify, design and implement new products and services. Neil’s work expands across multiple industries such as legal services, healthcare, retail, the sciences, energy, transportation, and more. Neil is also one of the few people selected for IBM's Corporate Service Corps leadership program that pairs leaders with NGOs to perform community-driven economic development projects. Neil is currently the lead Artificial Intelligence Advisor to the United Nations where he helps elaborate on both the technology’s benefits and consequences. Through his efforts, the United Nations has started the A.I. for good initiative to make the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals a reality.Neil Sahota, BlockHash, January 2024

You know, even more if you work with AGI, you always hear the things like, we're 50 plus years away from that happening, where people are actually channeling their efforts are into the cyborg future, which is actually what I believe in, in that we're actually trying to augment our own human abilities with machine abilities. So even beyond hybrid intelligence, but we've already seen things, and I've worked on some of these things, but like, you know, you lose a hand or something, can you replace that with a robotic limb that you can essentially control with your mind? And to a basic degree, we can actually do that.
There's been experimental surgeries, I think a dozen of them now, where people that are vision impaired, like blind, we can actually put digital cameras into their eyes and transmit the signal to the brain.
It's black and white, and it's grainy, but it's a level of vision, and it'll get better over time, because technology always gets better as the cost comes over. So you have more people more focused on how do we actually augment ourselves as humans to become cyborgs than working on singularity.
There's this video game called Cyberpunk 2077. I don't know if you've seen much of it. Keanu Reeves was a huge part of promoting that video game. He's like, in the video game, and it's like this futuristic dystopian city where everyone can augment their body, and they can have these robot arms and eyes and fangs and weapons and whatever you can imagine. It kind of gives me these interesting, I don't know, RoboCop vibes.
