Kernel – a business set up last year – is developing technology that would give people super-intelligence like never seen before.

Bryan Johnson, who founded the company, presented the idea of a "brain-computer interface", which will also allow us to communicate with machines.

It would also give people the capabilities to solve incredibly complex problems in a matter of seconds.

Johnson said: "I'd argue this is a necessity for the future and for our relevance."

This is due to fears mankind will potentially be useless in a world dominated by machines that can basically do most jobs.
