Aim ① Hyper computing speed ② Augmented neural capabilities.

Importance @ ML and AI

① neural computing: Expected to rival supercomputing.

② BCI: Brain chip Interface (Help divyangs to communicate)

③ Development of LLMs & GPTs (Large language models) ↳ Interactive method.

④ Help in personalized Education & personalized training:

⑤ Research & Innovation by Quick ≡ Peer review ≡ Literature analysis, etc.

⑥ Artificial limbs and prosthetics integration (& reduce organ rejection)

⑦ Reduce dependence on semiconductor chips.

Diagram
Challenges → (1) limited progress (only few companies like Neuralink) → (2) Ethical concerns → (3) Permanent changes can't be reversed.

Thus, along with R&D promotion, a strong Ethical-regulatory framework is need of the hour to propel efforts into right directions.
