Elon Musk announced on Friday that he wanted to provide, this year, a first human being with neural implants from his company Neuralink, whose technology has just been authorized in the United States.
A first in history. Neuralink, a start-up created by Elon Musk, received approval from US health authorities at the end of May to test its brain implants on humans. By housing chips in brains, the multi-billionaire’s objective is to have the brain part communicate directly with computers.
The medium-term goal is to help people who are paralyzed, suffering from spinal cord injuries or suffering from neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s disease.
“IT WILL BE A QUITE SLOW PROCESS”
The owner of SpaceX spoke regarding this technological advance, during a session of questions and answers at the VivaTech show in Paris: “We hope that, later this year, we will make our first implantation of a chip at the human, for someone who has a form of tetraplegia. I want to reassure anyone who may be scared off by Neuralink. It’s going to be a pretty slow process.”
In the long term, the goal would be to create a symbiotic relationship between humans and artificial intelligence, which might blur the lines between human thought and computing.
