AI is getting smarter, faster, and more capable—so where does that leave us? According to Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, the answer isn't fighting AI but upgrading human intelligence itself. His vision? Brain-embedded chips that enhance our cognitive power and keep us in the game.
AI is already writing code, automating industries, and even creating content. Soon, humanoid robots could take over jobs in retail, food service, and transportation. Companies like Tesla are already building them, and others will follow.
The truth is, 80% of jobs don’t require deep creativity—they need efficiency, accuracy, and logical execution, which AI excels at. Ardoino predicts that soon, AI will code 10x faster than humans. Even the best programmers won’t be able to keep up.
Ardoino believes that to compete with AI, humans need to evolve—literally. The brain, while powerful, has limited processing speed. A brain-connected chip could act as a mathematical coprocessor, dramatically increasing our ability to think, solve problems, and innovate.
With this tech, scientists could make discoveries faster, engineers could design better tech, and even everyday tasks could become more intuitive and efficient.
To turn this vision into reality, Tether has invested in Blackrock Neurotech, a leader in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Unlike Neuralink, which is still in early stages, Blackrock already has working implants.
So far, these chips have allowed:
🔹 Paralyzed patients to control robotic limbs
🔹 Users to type using their thoughts
🔹 People to communicate without speech
Tether is also developing BrainOS, an open-source platform for brain enhancement. Ardoino stresses that this technology should be for everyone, not just a privileged few.
The EU is pushing for AI regulations, aiming to protect users. But Ardoino warns that too many restrictions could slow innovation. AI isn’t stopping—it’s accelerating. Countries that over-regulate risk falling behind in the global tech race.
Ardoino’s message is clear: competing with AI is a losing battle—but merging with it is an opportunity. AI-powered brain chips could help us stay ahead, boosting human intelligence instead of replacing it.
The question is: are we ready to upgrade ourselves, or will AI leave us behind? 🚀
Would you ever consider a brain chip to stay competitive? 🧠💭
