ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, BRAIN AUGMENTATION, AND COGNITIVE WARFARE

Artificial intelligence is becoming an amorphous whole. The concept, the tools, the applications, the investment, and the outlook are going through a process of evolution. Technology is trying to cope with known advances and unknown outlooks. One of those known advances with unknown outlooks is brain augmentation and brain warfare. The concept is recent and seems to gain a prominent place in current AI frameworks. How does artificial intelligence relate to brain augmentation and how will brain augmentation lead to brain warfare? This will be the focus of this article. The article starts with a set of definitions starting with AI and ending with brain augmentation and brain hostility. This is followed by an examination of cognitive warfare in terms of triggers and inducers. Analysis is qualitative. Outcomes are hypotheses for future research.
