Uploading Brain into Computer: Whom to Upload First?

TL;DR

This paper explores the critical decision of selecting the initial human brain for uploading into a computer, emphasizing the importance of choosing a suitable candidate to ensure successful integration and potential superintelligence development.

Contribution

It introduces a framework for evaluating which individual should be uploaded first to optimize outcomes in brain-computer merging.

Findings

Identifies key criteria for selecting the first candidate for brain uploading.

Proposes a decision-making process for prioritizing candidates based on compatibility and potential.

Highlights the importance of initial choice in the evolution of superintelligence.

Abstract

The final goal of the intelligence augmentation process is a complete merger of biological brains and computers allowing for integration and mutual enhancement between computer's speed and memory and human's intelligence. This process, known as uploading, analyzes human brain in detail sufficient to understand its working patterns and makes it possible to simulate said brain on a computer. As it is likely that such simulations would quickly evolve or be modified to achieve superintelligence it is very important to make sure that the first brain chosen for such a procedure is a suitable one. In this paper, we attempt to answer the question: Whom to upload first?
