Ngā Atanga Roro-Rorohiko (BCI): Te Whakakotahitanga o te Tangata me te AI 

Ko ngā whakamātautau haumanu e haere tonu ana mō ngā Atanga Roro-Rorohiko (BCI) pērā i te whakaurunga "Telepathy" a Neuralink e uru ana ki te whakatū hononga whakawhitiwhiti kōrero i waenga i ngā roro o ngā kaiuru kāore anō kia tutukihia ngā hiahia hauora nā te pakaru o ngā atanga koiora i roto i ngā āhuatanga pēnei i te whara tuaiwi, te whiu, te te mate pukupuku taha amyotrophic (ALS)) me ngā tūāpapa AI. Ka tangohia e te whakaurunga BCI te mahi a ngā atanga koiora kua pakaru, ā, ka taea e ngā kaiuru o te whakamātautau te whakamahi i ngā waea, ngā rorohiko, ngā pona, ngā kēmu, me ngā ringa karetao mā te whakaaro anake. E tohu ana tēnei ahunga whakamua, i roto i ngā rā kei te heke mai, tera pea ka taea te whakatū hononga tere-teitei i waenga i te roro me ngā papaaho AI mā te karo i ā tātou atanga koiora puhoi rawa, me te wikitoria i ngā here whānui-rahi hei whakauru i te AI ki roto i tā tātou taumata rorohiko tuatoru. Ka mahi ngā hononga io whānui-rahi hei piriti, ka honoa te roro ki te AI. Ka noho ngā tāngata hei cyborg (ngā rauropi cybernetic). Mā te whakakotahitanga ka taea e ngā mea e rua te whai hua tetahi i tetahi. Ka whiwhi te roro i te mana rorohiko tino kaha o te AI, ā, ka whakaitihia te mōrearea o te tangata kia tawhito i mua i ngā mea matihiko tino mohio. Ko te mahi tahi a te roro tangata me te AI te whakautu ki te mōrearea oranga ki te tangata e pā ana ki te AI tino mohio.       

Ko te pūnaha mātauranga horihori (AI) he tauira reo (LM) e matapae ana i te kupu e whai ake nei i roto i te reo tūturu i runga i te/ngā kupu o mua. Kua whakangungua te tauira ki ngā raraunga kia matapae ai i te mea e whai ake nei i roto i ngā rerenga kōrero ina tonoa. Mā te pera, ka whai te tauira i te mahi a te mātauranga tūturu.   

Ko ngā momo tawhito o te AI i whakatauira i te whakaaro. I ahu mai i te whakaaro ko te mauri o te hinengaro tangata ko te whakaaro, ko te arorau rānei. E ai ki tēnei huarahi tohu, ko te tikanga o te kupu ko tōna hononga ki ētahi atu kupu. Ko te mārama ki tētahi rerenga kōrero ko te whakamaori i te rerenga kōrero ki tētahi reo tohu ā-roto. Kātahi ka whakamahia ngā ture ki ngā kīanga tohu hei whakaputa kīanga hou. Kāore i tino whai hua ngā pūnaha mohio o mua i ahu mai i tēnei whakaaro, ā, kāore i taea te ahu whakamua nui i roto i te kaupapa ahakoa i tīmata te AI i te tekau tau atu i 1950.  

He nui ngā ahunga whakamua kua puta i roto i te hangarau mohio-ā-ringa (AI) i ngā tau tata nei. Kua puta mai ngā momo hou o te hangarau mohio-ā-ringa (AI) he tino whai hua. He maha ngā āhuatanga kua mahi tahi hei whakatutuki i tēnā, ko tētahi o ēnei ko te aro nui ki tētahi huarahi koiora, hinengaro rānei ki te mātauranga tangata me te mahi a te roro tangata. E ai ki te huarahi koiora, ko te tikanga o tētahi kupu he huinga āhuatanga, ā, ko te māramatanga ko te huri i ia tohu kupu hei huinga āhuatanga. Ka whakakotahi ngā momo hangarau mohio-ā-ringa hou i ngā huarahi e rua. Ka huri i ia kupu hei huinga āhuatanga nui. Mā ngā taunekeneke i waenga i ngā āhuatanga o ngā kupu rerekē ka taea te matapae i ngā āhuatanga o te kupu e whai ake nei, ā, ka taea ai te matapae i te kupu e whai ake nei i runga i ōna āhuatanga.  

Ka hangaia e te AI hou he tauira o te māramatanga tangata (kaua e whakaaro). Kei runga i te whatunga io, ā, ka tukatukahia ngā raraunga i te huarahi e rite ana ki te roro tangata. Ka mahi te tauira reo whatunga io nui i ngā mahi tukatuka reo maori i roto i te huarahi whai hua. He nui ngā mana rorohiko o ngā Tauira Reo Nui (LLM) nui o nāianei pērā i a Grok a xAI, Gemini a Google, Claude a Anthropic, ChatGPT a OpenAI, DeepSeek a High-Flyer me ētahi atu. He tino pai te whakangungu me te tino whai hua. Kua pāngia e tō rātou mana rorohiko kore e taea te whakataurite i ngā wāhanga maha. E ai ki te pūrongo e whakamahia ana a Claude a Anthropic mō te tātari, te tautuhi tauira, te whakamahere, te whakatauira, te petipeti pakanga i roto i te pakanga e haere tonu ana i te rohe o te Middle East.   

Ko te hangarau Atanga Roro-Rorohiko (BCI) tētahi o ngā wāhanga kua tino whai hua mai i ngā whanaketanga hou o te AI. Ehara i te mea hou te hangarau engari nā te kaha rorohiko nui o ngā LLM hou kua ngāwari ake te wetewete me te tukatuka i ngā tohu io. Nō reira, he maha ngā taputapu BCI kua tae ki te wāhanga whakamātautau haumanu.  

Ko Neuralink, tētahi o ngā kaitākaro nui o te ao, kei te whakawhanake i tētahi whakaurunga roro, he atanga roro-rorohiko (BCI) arā, ko te "Telepathy" hei whakarei ake i te mana motuhake me te tū motuhake o te hunga whai mate ngoikore pēnei i te whara o te tuaiwi, te whiu, te ALS, me ētahi atu. Ka taea e ēnei tāngata te whakahaere tika i ngā rorohiko, waea, me ngā taputapu āwhina pēnei i ngā peka karetao mā te whakamahi i ō rātou whakaaro anake (ko te telepathy, i roto i te pūtaiao whanonga, e pā ana ki te āhuatanga parapsychological e uru ana ki te whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro tika mai i te hinengaro o tētahi tangata ki te hinengaro o tētahi atu tangata me te kore e whakamahi i te hongere rongo noa me ngā tohu e mōhiotia ana). Kei te whakahaerehia tēnei taputapu BCI i tēnei wā e toru ngā whakamātautau whaihua tuatahi. Ahakoa kei te whakamātautau te Rangahau PRIME e uru ana ki te 15 ngā kaiuru i te mana neuronal o ngā taputapu o waho, kei te rangahau te rangahau CONVOY i runga i te toru ngā kaiuru i te mana whakahaere o ngā taputapu āwhina, ā, kei te rangahau te Rangahau VOICE i runga i te 6 ngā kaiuru i te whakaora i te oro, e whakamahara ana ki te whakaaturanga a Stephen Hawking ki te kōrero i roto i te sitcom pouaka whakaata "Big Bang Theory". Ko tētahi atu whakaurunga roro a Neuralink "Blindsight", he whakaurunga whakaora tirohanga kei roto i te paipa mō te whakamātautau haumanu e tatari ana kia whakaaetia e te ture. 

Ko ngā taputapu hauora BCI e whakawhanakehia ana e Neuralink ka whakakapi i ngā atanga io koiora kua pakaru, ā, ka whakahokia mai ngā taunekeneke taiao me te mārama ki ngā ao matihiko me ngā ao tinana mō te hunga kāore anō kia tutuki ngā hiahia hauora. Ka kohia e te taputapu Telepathy te tohu whakahau mai i te roro ka tukuna ki ngā pānga o waho pērā i te rorohiko, te waea, te taputapu āwhina rānei hei whakahaere i te mahi. I tētahi atu taha, ka tukatukahia e te taputapu Blindsight ngā tohu pūoro i kohia mai i te taiao o waho hei tirohanga tirohanga mā te roro. I tēnei wā, ka hurihia ngā tohu mai i te taiao o waho hei tohu io mā te āwhina o te AI ka whāngaihia ki roto i te cortex tirohanga mō te tirohanga me te karo i te atanga pūoro kua pakaru. Kua taea te wetewete me te tukatuka i ngā tohu nā ngā LLM hou. Nā te whakaurunga 1024-hongere anō hoki i angitu ai, kua tino pai ake te tere whakawhiti raraunga mai i te roro ki te rorohiko. Ahakoa kei roto tonu i te wāhanga whakamātautau haumanu, ka tino whakapai ake ēnei whakaurunga BCI i te kounga o te oranga o te hunga e pāngia ana ina hokohokohia a muri ake nei. Heoi, he nui ake ngā kōrero mō ngā whanaketanga o te hangarau BCI.    

I roto i ngā whakamātautau haumanu kua whakahuatia ake nei, kei te whakamahia te AI mō te wetewete me te tukatuka i ngā tohu io i kohia e ngā whakaurunga i roto i te roro o te hunga kāore anō kia tutukihia ngā hiahia, ina karohia e te roro ngā atanga koiora kua pakaru, ā, ka kōrero tika ki te rorohiko o waho. Ka taea e te tangata hauora te whakamahi i te mana rorohiko nui o ngā tūāpapa AI i roto i te huarahi ōrite hei whakarei ake i te whai huatanga me te mahi kia noho hei tangata tino kaha? 

Anei tētahi wāhanga o ngā kōrero a te tohunga ahupūngao a Michio Kaku mō te AI i a ia e kōrero ana mō ngā hangarau o te heke mai i te tau 2018:  "...Ki taku whakaaro ko te wā e tino morearea ai ngā karetao ko te wā e mōhio ai rātou ki a rātou anō, i te mutunga pea o te rautau. I tēnei wā, ko ā tātou karetao tino matatau kei a rātou te mohio o te pepeke - he pepeke kua whakaroahia. Engari i te mutunga ka rite ā tātou karetao ki te mohio o te kiore, kātahi ka rite ki te mohio o te kiore, kātahi ka rite ki te rapeti, kātahi ka rite ki te kuri me te ngeru, ā, i te mutunga o tēnei rautau, ka rite pea ki te mohio o te makimaki. I taua wā, he morearea pea rātou. E mōhio ana ngā makimaki he makimaki rātou. E mōhio ana ngā makimaki ehara rātou i te tangata. Ināianei, kua pōhēhē ngā kuri. Kāore ngā kuri e mōhio ehara tātou i te kuri. E whakaaro ana ngā kuri he kuri tātou, nō reira ka whakarongo rātou ki a tātou - ko tātou te kuri o runga, ko rātou te kuri o raro. Nō reira ki taku whakaaro, i taua wā, kotahi rau tau mai i nāianei, i te mutunga o te rautau, me whakatakoto e tātou he maramara ki roto i ō rātou roro hei whakaweto i a rātou mēnā he whakaaro kohuru ā rātou. He tikanga haumaru-kore tēnā, engari he wā poto noa iho tēnā nā te mea ka aha ina tino mohio ngā karetao ka tangohia te pūnaha haumaru-kore? Ka taea hoki tēnā i te wā e whai ake nei." rautau 22. I taua wā, ki taku whakaaro me hanumi tātou ki a rātou. Kāore au i te whakaaro ka tupu tēnei i tēnei rautau, engari ki taku whakaaro i te rautau e whai ake nei me hanumi tātou ki tā tātou i hanga ai. He aha e kore ai e noho hei Homo superior? He aha e kore ai e whakamahi i ngā angaanga o waho e hangaia ana hei Hercules? Ko te mana tēnā o te atua. Nō reira, i ētahi atu kupu, ko te kōwhiringa hei utu mō te whawhai ki ngā karetao, i te rautau e whai ake nei, ko te hanumi ki a rātou hei tangata kaha rawa atu…" — Michio Kaku (2018)Hangarau mo te heke mai.

Mai i te kitenga a Michio Kaku i runga ake nei i te tau 2018, arā, ā muri ake nei, "ka hanumi te tangata me ngā karetao hei tangata kaha rawa atu", Te āhua nei kei te ahu whakamua te hangarau Atanga Roro-Rorohiko (BCI) ki taua matapae nā te whanaketanga o te kaha rorohiko o ngā pūnaha matauranga horihori (AI). 

Ko te pūnaha limbic taketake o tō tātou roro (te roro kare ā-roto) te pūtake o te kaupapa mō te nuinga o tātou i te nuinga o te wā. Ka whakamahia e tō tātou cortex cerebral (te roro whakaaro me te whakamahere) te nui o te rorohiko hei paparanga tuarua hei mahi mā te pūnaha limbic. Mā te mahi pera, ka whakanuia te cortex e te paparanga rorohiko tuatoru kei roto ko ngā waea, ngā pona, ngā iPad, me ngā tono tae atu ki ngā tūāpapa AI hei whakarei ake i te mahi. I tēnei wā, ka kōrero te roro ki te paparanga rorohiko tuatoru mā roto i ō tātou atanga koiora mā te pato, mā te kōrero rānei i te wā e tino iti ana te tere o te whakawhiti raraunga mai i te cortex ki te paparanga rorohiko tuatoru, nō reira he arai. Ka taea e ngā roro tangata te kōrero ki ngā tūāpapa AI i ngā tere teitei e tohuhia ana e ngā pūnaha rorohiko AI tino mohio?   

Mā te hononga tere-teitei e taea ai te rere tika o ngā raraunga pono ki roto i te roro o te AI (me te rerekētanga mai i te cortex ki te AI) ka āwhina i te whakauru pai i te AI ki roto i tā tātou paparanga rorohiko tuatoru. Koinei tonu te mea e tupu ana i roto i ngā whakamātautau haumanu kua whakahuatia ake nei – ka whakatūria e ngā whakaurunga Telepathy a Neuralink he hononga tere-teitei i waenga i te roro (o te hunga kāore anō kia tutukihia ngā hiahia hauora) me te rorohiko, ka karo i ngā atanga koiora kua pakaru, ā, ka whakaurua te AI ki roto i tā rātou paparanga rorohiko tuatoru. Nō reira, ka taea e ngā kaiuru whakamātautau te whakamahi i ngā waea me ngā rorohiko ki te tirotiro i te ipurangi, ki te tuku karere me te tito īmēra, ki te tākaro kēmu ataata, me te whakamahi i ngā peka karetao mō ngā mahi e uru ana ki te pūkenga ā-ringa mā roto i ngā whakaaro anake. Kei te tino whakapai ake te āheinga hou i te kounga o te oranga o ngā kaiuru. Mai i te tirohanga hangarau, he tohu nui te whakauru i te AI ki roto i tā tātou paparanga rorohiko tuatoru hei whakanui ake i te mahi mā te hononga whānui i waenga i te roro me te rorohiko (hei whakakapi i ā tātou atanga koiora puhoi). 

He pono, he take pakari kei reira hei whai i te hangarau hei whakatutuki i ngā hiahia hauora, engari me pēhea te whakauru i te AI ki roto i tā tātou paparanga rorohiko tuatoru hei whakanui ake i ngā mahi a te hunga hauora? Kāore i tawhiti rawa te hangarau; kei te whakamatautauria kētia ki te tangata ahakoa he hiahia hauora kāore anō kia tutuki. Engari ka mutu i reira?   

He mea whakamīharo, kei roto kē te AI i tā tātou paparanga rorohiko tuatoru me ngā mea rorohiko katoa, ā, kei te whakanui ake i ngā mahi ki te taumata e taea ana e ō tātou atanga koiora puhoi. Ka tukuna e tātou ngā raraunga i te 10 ki te 100 bits ia hekona (bps), ko te toharite mō ngā haora 24 he tata ki te 1 bit ia hekona (bps). Nō reira, ka taunekeneke tātou me ngā tūāpapa AI mā roto i ō tātou atanga koiora tino puhoi, he arai i te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero a te roro ki te AI tino mohio. Nō reira, he tino taupatupatu - ka taea e tātou te tuku tata ki te 10 ki te 100 bits ia hekona i te mea ka taea e ngā AI o nāianei te tukatuka me te whakaputa i ngā tiriona bits ia hekona. Ko te tikanga o tēnei ko tō tātou kaha ki te whakapuaki i tō tātou hiahia ki te AI, me te kaha o te AI ki te whāngai i ngā māramatanga uaua ki roto i ō tātou hinengaro, ka whakawhāititia e tō tātou koiora. Nō reira, kei waho tonu ngā mea e rua (arā, ko te Roro me te AI) tetahi i tetahi. He mārama, kei te tūpono te tangata ki te tawhito i te aroaro o ngā AI tino mohio. He tūponotanga oranga ki te tangata. Ka taea te whakamutu i te AI i runga i ngā tūponotanga? Kāore pea i te tino kitea nā te mea he take ōhanga pakari tōna mō ngā umanga e pā ana ki te whakaiti i ngā utu whakahaere me te whakapiki i ngā hua. Ko te mea nui ake, kua kitea kētia ngā tono nui a te AI i roto i te haumarutanga ā-motu, te parepare, me te pakanga. Ko te putanga o tētahi pakanga ā muri ake nei ka whakawhirinaki nui ki te whakanui ake i ngā kaha parepare mā te AI; nō reira ka whai ngā tari kāwanatanga ki te hanga kaha AI. Nā tēnei ka tino hiahiatia te AI e ngā whenua mō te parepare ā-motu.  

E whakaatu ana ngā au o te hangarau hou, tera pea ka taea te whakatū hononga tere i waenga i te roro me ngā papaaho AI, mā te karo i ngā hononga koiora puhoi rawa, kia pai ai te whakauru i te AI ki roto i tā tātou taumata rorohiko tuatoru. Ka mahi ngā hononga io whānui-rahi hei piriti, ka honoa te roro ki te AI. Ka noho te tangata hei cyborg (ngā rauropi ipurangi). Mā te whakakotahitanga ka taea e rāua te whai hua tetahi i tetahi. Ka whiwhi te roro i te mana rorohiko tino kaha o te AI, ā, ka whakaitihia te mōrearea o te tangata kia tawhito i mua i ngā mea matihiko tino mohio. Mā te mahi tahi a te roro tangata me te AI ka taea e te tangata te whakahaere i te AI, ā, koinei te whakautu ki te mōrearea o te oranga tangata e pā ana ki te AI tino mohio.
