New deep learning framework from Facebook
Pythia is a deep learning framework that supports multitasking in the vision and language domain. Built on our open-source #PyTorch framework, the modular, plug-and-play design enables researchers to quickly build, reproduce, and benchmark AI models. #Pythia is designed for vision and language tasks, such as answering questions related to visual data and automatically generating image captions.

Musk created Neuralink, with the intention of connecting computers directly to human brains. He wants to do this using “neural lace” technology – implanting tiny electrodes into the brain for direct computing capabilities.
Bryan Johnson has also been testing “neural lace”. He founded Kernel, a startup to enhance human intelligence by developing brain implants linking people’s thoughts to computers.
Facebook has been hiring neuroscientists for an undisclosed project at its secretive hardware division, #Building8.
In the UK, research is ongoing. Davide Valeriani, senior research officer at University of Essex’s BCI-NE Lab, is using an electroencephalogram (EEG)-based BCI to tap into the unconscious minds of people as they make decisions

Neurotechnology, Elon Musk and the goal of human enhancement
Brain-computer interfaces could change the way people think, soldiers fight and Alzheimer’s is treated. But are we in control of the ethical ramifications?
