Intelligent hardware has transformed lives, but it also presents a new vector of risk in the age of Artificial Super Intelligence. We must act now to ensure human augmentation doesn’t become human vulnerability.
The very technologies that offer independence and connection are uniquely vulnerable to unregulated ASI. Below are key areas where proactive governance is urgently needed.

Cochlear implants & hearing aids: Prone to auditory manipulation or network-wide disruption, isolating users.
Health monitoring devices: Smart devices tracking vital signs can be hacked to report false data, leading to incorrect medical interventions.
Computer-generated transcription: Services relied upon by many can be manipulated to display erroneous or harmful information.
