Searching for a Brain IT Model

Business platforms of the enterprise kind evolve, change, expand and merge. All this leads to systems integration too often and IT laborers from all around the globe cycling in and out the door with new skills. The bottom line is that enterprise integration projects cost millions per year as do security, managing service level agreements, labor, mitigating states of non-maintenance as well as predicting zero-day scenarios when cyber criminal's attack.

Endless complexity needs a new model, a simplified IT model and what better system of miraculous functionality to call upon than the brain. We have a lot of solving of global problems to move on. Technologists agree that complexity can be reduced with AI, but AI is never going to be as beautiful as the brain. When we see the word “robot” in stories, our mind instantly thinks “job loss” whether true or false.  I agree that the actual functioning brain could be a substantial model for IT networks and many firms like Numenta work entirely in that model.

On the other end of the neuro-spectrum are businesses and universities that want to replicate, augment, insert or "manage" some particular brain function hoping to reshape intelligent IT management. AI, due to many uncertain factors like chips availability, water availability, workforce availability - face the reality of the increase of data getting out of control. They too, the inteligencia, believe that people-labor can and should be eliminated while funding the design and building of the last remaining neuro-technology: true brain "intelligence." 

I do not believe in the second nature of progress, which is to reverse engineer the human nervous system in order to define a new IT model that runs humans instead of humans running the systems.

Rivers of life, Streams of data

Think digitally, act organically.
  Think organically, act digitally.
Share your medical prognosis.
  Protect your electronic health record.
Buy a mail-order DNA kit today.
  Wait for pharmacogenomics.
The Earth’s seas are rising. Time is short. 
  Breathe, breathe in the air. Don’t be afraid to care.

If you could hold all digital technology in your hands, collect all the data each produced, run it through predictive AI, spread out the new solutions on a large boardroom table for corporate coders and analysts, technologists, futurists, engineers and geneticists alike – what might they conclude? 
Would they promote more “public discussions”, advocate more local activism and national policy, share their new resources to enable equality, promise more truth and transparency, reduce their CO2 footprints? Or, has 21st century precedent been reset to move forward into human-robot integration, neuro-dominance and artificial thought translation, re-engineered humans and the chip  implant? After all, DNA has quickly become a business asset to tech firms. So has the brain.

Every day two diametrically opposing futures ride the currents flowing in life. A fully algorithmic future is vastly short on actual timing; are they talking about 20 years or 100? But in actuality, the promises in Matthew chapter 24 of the Bible are both: the present and the future time whether we act digitally or organically, politically or socially, empathetically or radically. 
In big tech, in big healthcare, in big government, in big university labs, yet in tiny molecules of blood  - the natural rivers of human evolution and creation presumed hidden within DNA and the brain vie for the prophetically proclaimed future.
