Whole Brain Emulation: Decades Behind AGI
Expert timelines place whole brain emulation in the mid-2040s at earliest, well after AGI. The gap isn't months—it's years, accounting for physical brain prep, scanning, and validation.
• Each emulation costs $20K–$80K/hour, needs 10,000–40,000 H100-equivalents
• Months required for slicing, scanning, and animal testing alone
• Current timelines simulate brains for seconds, not useful durations
