Who's ready to share their nervous system with a hyperintelligent a.i.?
Here are some scientific papers which discuss the state of different neuromodulation implants that can be nonsurgically administered.
"With new technology, scientists are able to exert wireless control over brain cells of mice with just the push of a button. The first thing they did was make the mice hungry."

The present invention provides noninvasive methods and compositions for the remote control of cell function based on the use of radiofrequency waves or a magnetic field to excite paramagnetic nanoparticles expressed in specific cell types. Cellular manipulations include, for example, modulation of cell proliferation, cell differentiation, apoptosis, gene expression, activation or inhibition of one or more cellular processes and/or activation or inhibition of one or more signal transduction pathways. In certain embodiments the cells of interest are neurons.
Administering can be performed by implant, via catheter, intravenously, intramuscularly, topically, dermally, intranasally, orally, etc..

The Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3) program aims to develop high-performance, bi-directional brain-machine interfaces for able-bodied service members. Such interfaces would be enabling technology for diverse national security applications such as control of unmanned aerial vehicles and active cyber defense systems or teaming with computer systems to successfully multitask during complex military missions.

I think it’ll be a long time before we merge our nervous system with AI, just because it will require a lot of research/advancements/testing in neuroscience/biomedical engineering.
