BillionaireMuskFoundedBrain-Computer Interface Companies Neuralink He has ambitious plans for the future. X(Twitter) The platform announced that the goal is to implant more than 1,000 patients by 2026Brain-computer chip, which is feasible.
It is reported that Noland Arbaugh, the first human patient implanted with Neuralink's brain-computer chip, has publicly stated that this technology has changed his life. Noland Arbaugh was paralyzed below the neck and before the surgery, he could not "interact well" with technology and could not type quickly using an iPad and a mouth-held clicking device. After the surgery, he was able to use technology devices easily and even play video games.
But in May, a tiny wire in Noland Arbaugh's brain became dislocated. A Neuralink executive said on Wednesday that the tiny wires in the brain-computer interface chip implanted in the first participant are now "more or less very stable."
Musk revealed in a live broadcast event in the early morning of the 11th Beijing time that Neuralink's goal is to implant its chips into thousands of human patients within a few years. At present, it seems that Musk has given a more specific timetable for this grand goal.
According to reports, Neuralink allows patients to control robot limbs with their brains, which is faster than natural brain-limb connections. Musk also said that Neuralink's ultimate goal is to weaken the civilization risks posed by AI by establishing a symbiotic relationship between humans and digital intelligence.
