On May 21, startup BrainBridge unveiled its concept for a world-first head transplant system, promising to combine artificial intelligence with the latest in robotics to literally remove a human head and put it on a new body.
If everything works as intended, once the head is in place, the person will apparently be able to get up and go about the rest of their life with a brand-new set of healthy limbs and organs. Sounds fantastical? Right now, science says it probably still is.

BrainBridge says its process will preserve the recipient’s “consciousness, memories, and cognitive abilities.” It will still be you, just on a new scaffold.
 
This will change our whole concept of soul.

yeah that's never gonna happen. lol we still don't even have flying cars. lol
this would be more pragmatic than flying cars. The tech is based on things that exist already just enhanced by AI. Flying cars to function realistically would need a new technology and an entirely functioning flying world infrastructure. You can make some versions of flying cars today, and even if they work or resemble airplanes it would raise entire new question on how to build their travel infrastructure and police them. We can't even fly drones in many places. That said they didn't talk much about how they plan to replicate neurons with circuit wiring.

Right now they are gradually normalising jet packs. They can act as a place holder but far as know they use dated technology. Jet Packs have been around a while but not previously pumped out at the same content rate as before, which usually indicates the internal models have progressed so that the older ones are consumable for the general public.

That statement is more an example of what is promised verses what is actually delivered. Here, human head transplants with the aid of AI are promised while the reality is AI just recommended adding glue to my pizza sauce to keep the cheese from sliding off.

They should have started smaller by creating a Face Off machine that could switch your face with someone else’s.
