So Apple is now a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) company, allowing you to control your devices with your mind. Yep... They worked together with Synchron, who created a device that can plug into the blood vessels near the brain's motor cortex. Great, right?

I'm not a BCI expert by any means, but heavy on protecting civil liberties and standing up against potential misuse. So why is this a problem through my lens? 1) Data Collection and Usage. Obviously this creates a data footprint from your brain, and a unique one. Potential to misuse? Pretty damn high.

2) Ecosystem Servitude: This bounds users to the Apple ecosystem, completely beholden to its environment and policies. Marriage between Apple and your brain is here.

There'll be a unique residency in the Swiss Alps in May that aims to create a future society sandbox to address societal, political, and economic questions around today’s somewhat failed power structures. Significant advancements in technology make these questions even more complex but they also present opportunities for us to create new structures that protect individual autonomy and freedoms while considering collective interests and stripping away unnecessary power from central entities. If you’re in Web3, AI, Biotech, Digital Privacy, or Cryptography, apply and contribute to the discussion across a wide range of topics. 🔗 How: www.zuitzerland.ch 📨 Apply by: March 31 🗓️ When: May 1 to May 25 ⏳ Residency duration: 1 week to 4 weeks
