Space X and Tesla founder Elon Musk says his latest company Neuralink Corp is working to link the human brain with a machine interface by creating micron-sized devices.
Musk says Neuralink is aiming to bring to the market a product that helps with certain severe brain injuries due to stroke, cancer lesion etc. in about four years.”
“If I were to communicate a concept to you, you would essentially engage in consensual telepathy.”
At a tech conference last year, Musk said artificial intelligence and machine learning will create computers so sophisticated and godlike that humans will need to implant “neural laces” in their brains to keep up.
“If you have two brain interfaces, you could actually do an uncompressed direct conceptual communication with another person.”
Musk says the technology could take about eight to 10 years to become usable by people with no disability, which would depend heavily on regulatory approval timing and how well the devices work on people with disabilities.
In March, the Wall Street Journal reported that Musk had launched a company through which computers could merge with human brains.
Neuralink was registered in California as a “medical research” company last July, and he plans on funding the company mostly by himself.
