We already have thousands of languages we can use to talk to computers -- they are called programming languages -- and some of them are incredibly sophisticated and elegant. Highly advanced AI has been created using these languages.
Just recently in the public domain an artificial human cerebral cortex was created using software -- a mathematical clone of a human brain with molecular resolution -- and it has successfully recovered some human responses.

All the goals that you mention and all the tech that is required to achieve those goals already exists. These things have been created using normal, widespread scientific techniques that you could learn at any university. Even more stuff has been leaked by black ops people and can be reverse-engineered from them.
The reason humans don't all have cybernetic implants right now is because humans don't want them.
