Mind uploading

Mind uploading (whole-brain emulation) is the hypothetical transfer of the information in a brain — its structure and connections — to a computational substrate that runs the same mind.

Maturity
Long-horizon — largely theoretical today
Why it matters

It could free cognition from biology, enable digital continuity of a person, and let minds run, copy, or travel in ways bodies cannot.

Where it stands

Purely theoretical; it requires scanning and simulating a brain at a resolution and scale far beyond current science.

How ASIZ approaches it

The discovery loop, applied.

Through the Mind & Neurotechnology center, ASIZ aims the discovery loop at mind uploading: frontier models survey the literature and simulate the possibilities, rank the experiments most likely to resolve the open questions, and partner labs run the decisive ones — with results shared openly.
