We began writing about artificial intelligence a few months ago. My posts mainly covered two areas—a) responses and opinions on AI and its various advances, and b) discussions on specific services or products such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini.
Over the past month we haven't written anything new on Artificial Intelligence. In the coming days we'll resume writing regularly on the subject, in both English and Bengali.
High Demand
Artificial intelligence is everywhere these days. Each day its field of application expands, and with it grows financial investment in this technology. Whatever sector or service you look at, you'll see AI being applied in some form.
So what exactly is AI? At its core, it is a system or machine trained with huge amounts of data. (Smaller models may need less data, of course.) Once that data is supplied, the system requires extremely powerful processors (GPU/TPU) to interpret it, identify patterns, form algorithms, and carry out tasks based on user instructions.
At every stage the demand is enormous— huge datasets, vast storage capacity, powerful processors, and above all, electricity. Training consumes the most electricity of all.
If Only We Could…
While using AI models like Google Gemini, ChatGPT, Google AI Studio, Meta AI, or X Grok, I often think — what if I too could speak or work with such speed and skill?
Imagine giving a model several pages of text or code. In moments it processes it and produces an answer. That speed is astonishing. Beyond speed, the sheer breadth of knowledge these models have is enviable.
Now picture a human with such powers — able to read and respond instantly, process vast information, and deliver precise answers. What a remarkable thing that would be.
Each time I use AI I feel excited, yet sometimes a trace of envy or longing stirs within me — if only I could be like that too.
What Lies Ahead?
Yes, we now hold a powerful, intelligent tool in our hands. But is that enough? For many, the desire goes further— to have such powers not merely as external gadgets, but as part of our own being.
Research is already under way, and more will follow. One of the most important areas today is the Brain–Computer Interface (BCI). Through BCI, brain signals can be sent directly to a computer or device. There are already practical demonstrations, such as a paralysed patient moving a cursor using thought alone.
Companies like Neuralink have successfully implanted chips in humans; in 2024 the first person controlled a computer cursor with thought. Others such as Synchron, Paradromics, and BrainGate are also in clinical trials. China has even announced a national strategy aiming for major BCI breakthroughs by 2027 and 2030.
If this technology scales up, we may one day download knowledge directly or send instructions from brain to machine. Learning speed, memory, and efficiency could increase manyfold. But for now it remains experimental, with safety, privacy, and ethical issues still unsettled.
AI Hospital in China
Recently I came across news of Tsinghua University in China establishing the world's first AI hospital. Doctors here are essentially AI-driven agents, trained with vast medical knowledge. The hospital has 42 AI doctors across departments like cardiology and neurology. They have already treated more than 10,000 patients, with an accuracy rate of 93%.
A 93% accuracy is good, but in healthcare, seven incorrect cases out of every hundred is still serious. Even so, the development is extraordinary. With time the system will strengthen, and the benefits for humanity could be immense.
Biocybernetics and Biomimicry
I'm deeply interested in biocybernetics and augmented-human technologies — bionic limbs, implants, and Brain–Computer Interface will certainly shape our lives. I'm particularly hopeful about the work of Neuralink. Perhaps, through such technologies, humans may one day gain the immense data capacity and speed of AI models.
At the same time, I remain drawn to biomimicry. Biomimetics or biomimicry is a philosophy in science and technology where humans emulate nature's strategies, designs, or solutions to create new technologies, architecture, or devices. Looking at our universe and nature, one can see countless examples of large, complex, and efficient works and structures. When solving a problem or applying a new idea, I first look at how that thing is created in nature.
For example, a computer or mobile hard disk is made of metals like aluminium, copper, cobalt, nickel, and non-metallic substances like silicon and plastic. Yet the human brain, though much smaller, far surpasses any disk or processor in storage and processing power — without metallic structures. If we consider the brain as a device, it is far more advanced than our machines. Surely we still have much to learn. Future storage and processor designs may take deeper inspiration from the brain's architecture.
I follow Neuralink and BCI developments closely. Still, I wonder — when we implant chips in the brain or body, can it truly follow biomimetics, nature's own finesse? Can such technologies align harmoniously with natural design? That question remains open. I'm keen to see how future research unfolds.
