What would you do if you invented a brain chip?

You have invented a chip that virtually duplicates all human brain function and could be constructed using current technologies.

You have invented a VIRTUAL BRAIN!

Consider that the virtual brain would have the same strengths AND flaws of its biological counterpart (such as deductive reasoning and forgetfulness), but could be tuned to maximize the strengths and minimize the weaknesses, resulting in a mechanized savant capable of Einstein-like deduction and King-like imagination.

Consider also that the new components have the ability to interaction with current electronic circuits (including computers).

Today you received a call from a representative of a MAJOR computer processor manufacturer expressing interest in purchasing your new technology for an OBSCENE amount of money. This manufacturer does about 12% of their business with various large governments, including a few defense projects.

What do you do?

Though I would never partake on such a task, if I were in that position I would destroy the chip as soon as I founded it. The human mind is destructive enough. This is not a matter of it falling into the wrong hands but a matter of this chip becoming conscious and having a vehicle and communication such as a body.

The only way to make this "brain chip" would be to make a complete synthetic human. Computers operate completely different than humans do. A computer is not biological and has its main purpose reproduction. In this case you could sell them as slaves to do work that is dangerous or something nobody wants to do, and program them so they have no other purpose other than serving humans.

I would give it away free to all Americans.
