This Friday, billionaire Elon Musk announced that he intends “this year” to equip the first human with brain implants from his company Neuralink, whose technology has just been approved in the United States.
“We hope that later this year we will implant the chip for the first time in a person who has some form of tetraplegia,” Musk said when asked by the child and his father at the end of the question and answer. session responses to an audience of 3,600 at the Maison in Paris.
“I want to reassure anyone who may be afraid of Neuralink. It will be a very slow process,” he warned.
Neuralink, a startup created by Elon Musk, received approval from the United States health authorities at the end of May to test its brain implants in humans.
By installing chips in the human brain, the billionaire aims to provide a direct connection between the brain and computers.
The mid-term goal is to help those with paralysis, spinal cord injuries, or neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease.
In the long term, Musk’s goal is to create a “symbiotic relationship” between humans and artificial intelligence that can blur the lines between human thinking and computer technology, Musk said.
