[Netease Smart News, August 30] As artificial intelligence continues to advance rapidly, scientists are tirelessly striving to make machines more akin to the human brain—capable of learning and comprehending their surroundings. Recently, Nigerian neuroscientist Agabi may have uncovered a novel approach to address one of life's dilemmas: how to enhance the pleasure of air travel.
While air journeys can be exhilarating, the lengthy and congested security queues often disrupt the tranquility of holidays. What if you didn't have to endure these lines? Could a discreet device capable of detecting explosives offer a solution?
According to international media reports, neuroscientist Agabi has invented the world’s first neuro-technological device designed to quietly sniff out explosives. This groundbreaking creation was developed by his Silicon Valley-based startup, Koniku, and was showcased at the recent TED event in Tanzania.
The domain of artificial intelligence is feverishly developing machines that mimic the human brain, or as Elon Musk terms it, brain-machine interface research. Agabi discovered a method to merge lab-grown neurons with electronic circuits. The 38-year-old scientist noted that while others are focusing on overcoming the limitations of silicon processors, he shifted his attention to “the most powerful processor ever created.†He explained that simulating the energy of 204 brain neurons would require a supercomputer. “Why not simply utilize these biological cells as they are?†he questioned. Though radical, the outcome is extraordinary, he claimed.
Thus, he collaborated with a team of geneticists, physicists, bioengineers, molecular biologists, and other researchers to tackle this issue. They focused on resolving challenges that silicon devices find particularly arduous, such as detecting volatile chemicals and explosives, and even preventing diseases like cancer.
Agabi stated that Koniku’s equipment is “number one in the world,†and is expected to lead the market in the detection of volatile substances through breathing and sniffing. He mentioned that major brands, including those in the tourism sector, have already signed agreements. The startup’s current revenue stands at $8 million (approximately €7 million), with projections reaching $30 million by 2018. A significant challenge remains: finding ways to keep the neurons active. This aspect, Agabi insists, is a closely guarded secret.
With the rapid strides in AI technology, scientists are pushing to make machines increasingly brain-like, allowing them to learn and understand their environment. This vision is both promising and alarming for many.
Musk has repeatedly warned about the dangers of artificial intelligence. He is spearheading a project to implant neural network brain-computer interface technology. Conversely, Agabi envisions a future where artificial intelligence becomes more dynamic. He believes his company can create a human-like cognitive system based on synthetic living neurons within the next five to seven years. “This isn’t science fiction,†he told international media. “We aim to build a brain with biological neurons—an autonomous intelligent system. We’re not trying to recreate a human brain.â€
Agabi delivered his speech at the opening ceremony of the four-day TED Global Conference. It’s worth noting that this year’s annual TED Global Conference is being held in Africa, marking the first time in a decade that the event has taken place on the continent.

As we continue to explore the boundaries of AI, the potential for innovation seems boundless. Yet, the ethical and practical implications demand careful consideration.
