IBM Using Watson Super Computer to Categorize and Search Patents - I Have an Idea

Wouldn't it be great if we could use the IBM Watson Super Computer to become perfectly accurate, within 99.99%, as in Six Sigma proximity to rationalize the descriptions with the sketches? If so, we could use all of this data to train the Artificial Intelligent Super Computer to take an innovator's or inventor's voice dictated words or speech in describing a new invention, and then sketch it out for them. They say one form of human intelligence, seen in art, is the ability to take a 3D spatial thought and put it down onto a 2D piece of paper, or take a 3D visualized image and paint it or sketch it onto a 2D plane [Howard Gardner - Multiple Intelligence Theory].

Imagine the increased productivity of our most innovative individuals in this case? Yes, I am thinking of myself, I want such a system, but "there's no App for that!" Yet, anyway, however, I believe, I totally believe now, after considering all this that it is possible. Using the key words of the description the AI system could get extremely close, then the innovator would only have to make minor modifications. Imagine if Leonardo da Vinci had one of these back in the day, he'd still have his ability to modify things, but it would be 3/4 done just from his description and voice dictation into the machine.

Basically, it would draw his design, he could watch it before his eyes. Okay so, let me take this concept of mine to the next level, a way to go from conception to prototype in minutes or hours, not months and years. Once the description is drawn out 3/4 of the way, the inventor would make basic verbal command changes in the design and it would save the progress, just as the old Word Perfect did, then once completed the innovator would say complete, print to 3D Cad Cam design, and Holographic Image.

Next the innovator could interact with the hologram or light and make changes just as people do with gestures for Wii or on the iPad to turn pages. Finally, once totally happy with the design, a 3D printer could produce the model, mold, and prototype. Then lasers could cut any material that might be used to make the invention. Can you see what I am saying?

In this way we can have the AI computer working with and for the innovator, giving the inventor full-visualization from the spatial reasoning area of the mind to real life. Please think on this, in fact, if you'd like to email me, I have several other forward thinking ideas to go along with this simple one explained here for the future.

Carbon NanoTubes Implanted for Brain Computer Interfaces - Human Biosystem Health and Safety

The other day, I was talking to a neuroscientist from another country. We were discussing the potential for computational devices to achieve workable computer brain interfaces. One of the concepts I had come up with previously, and had written an article on was the placement of small carbon-nanotube devices to be used as nodes and motes to help in the future communication process of thought swapping. My acquaintance was worried that these carbon-nanotubes implanted in the brain could cause cancerous tumors, and he was worried about medical issues along that line of thinking.

Yes, the issue with carbon nano-tubes could be a problem but perhaps for another reason, when carbon molecules of this type come into contact with blood, it slowly dissolves them. This should not surprise us, as humans are made of carbon of course, amongst other things like water. We could coat these molecules or add various atoms making them totally inert and thus not have to deal with it.

One challenge might be in adding energy to these micro-molecular structures, as it is very important not to fry or destroy the organic coatings on the neurons or fatty coatings on the axons. That should concern us as we press forward.

Also using very minutely focused energy we may be able to cause the brain to protect itself increasing those coating layers, thus holding energy from escaping, which would make our nano-devices used as motes and nodes work harder to read the sequence firing as a thought comes through, but strengthen the brain and make it more energy efficient. If the carbon-nanotubes do not interact with the fatty coatings or brain cells, and the brain doesn't go in there to attack them, which is also a problem, because the brain "will" protect itself, it's extremely good at that - then we should be okay.

The brain is somewhat sensitive and must be protected as we know from concussion, shock, and yes, cell phones running on microwave frequencies. For instance, we note that some religious folks bow and pray many times per day, each time they are rocking back and forth their brains hit the inside of their skull sending a shock wave back and forth, that works good for cross brain memory imprintation, but they are also damaging their brains while they do this. Those who seem the most devout may actually pray more and thus, have the worst cases of brain damage, perhaps even red marks or bleed through on their foreheads, much worse than anything a cell phone could ever do to the brain up close like that at let's say 3-5 watts, luckily the cell phones are less than that now.

Anyway, back to my point above, if these carbon based pieces were coated properly, and very small finding their way into their proper position as a 3D grid format, they could be very low-power and work in a similar way, each individual would first need to have their brain mapped, so that the system would know the types of thoughts it is reading.

Perhaps, I should be more concerned with the damage to the human brain while testing future prototypes, however, with 7 billion people on the planet, I'm just not all that worried about it, especially if we can test to see that no damage is being done, and simply recall those little devices from the brain if things are not working out. I have no problem experimenting on live humans, chimpanzees, or anything else, not concerned in the least, because we can end such experiments immediately and retrieve the devices if need be. The benefits for all mankind would be astronomical, give unlimited brain life spans, etc.

Okay so, back to the issue of carbon molecules in the brain and the need for oxygenation, well we could use these devices to help the brain better deliver oxygen to the brain as well perhaps, offsetting these molecules trying to rob oxygen from the brain. In any case, if you have had similar thoughts along this line of thinking, and would like to join the discussion, then please shoot me an e-mail at your earliest convenience and please consider all this, and think on it. What are your thoughts?
