The very controversial project of Neuralink, the company of Elon Musk, consists in implant chips in human brains. The first trials were originally scheduled to take place last year, but Neuralink has been held back by US authorities. This is not the first time that the billionaire has had to give in to the authorities. Indeed, following l’explosion du Starship of SpaceX, the billionaire is Prohibited from testing until further notice. But, according to Neuralink, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) authorizes the first implants…
And it seems that, for once, Elon Musk is about to keep his promise. Indeed, last November, the CEO of Twitter, SpaceX and Tesla claimed that the first Neuralink implant trials would take place in six months. It remains to be seen if the billionaire will keep a completely different promise that Elon Musk made: have the device implanted in their own head.
Neuralink is not the first company of its kind
Yet Neuralink has been accused of abusing his subjects of experience Many times. But Elon Musk’s company has always denied these allegations. On the other hand, the FDA has rejected a request for human trials filed by Neuralink in early 2022. The administration then apparently pointed to “dozens of problems” that the company had to solve.
However, it should be noted that Neuralink is not the only company to enter the field brain implant. Indeed, Synchron received FDA clearance to begin trials in the United States in 2021 and announced the first American brain-computer implant last July. The company reportedly conducted trials on four human patients in Australia.
Neuralink utilise neural implants to allow individuals to merge with artificial intelligence, thereby enhancing their cognitive abilities. The goal is to create a symbiosis between the human mind and technology, paving the way, according to the company, to new possibilities for the future of humanity.
