Downloading the Human Brain to a Computer: Elon Musk's Neuralink
Sure, you know almost everything about Tesla and SpaceX, but how much do you know about Elon Musk's Neuralink startup? Of the many eccentric projects Musk is currently working on, Neuralink definitely takes the cake. The ambitious start-up seems to be working directly on somethingA science fiction film.
If Neuralink achieves its goal, the company could usher in a new age of "superhuman knowledge". But enough with the tension. What exactly is Neuralink working on?
Neuralink is a company founded by Elon Musk in 2016 that deals with the human brain and its connection to a computer interface. Working on a much smaller scale than Tesla or SpaceX, this conceptual startup aims to use this brain machine interface to integrate humans with artificial intelligence through surgically implanting processors into our brains using a process that is supposed to be no more invasive than something like a LASEK operation.
Now you are probably wondering why people would want to do this? And why does this sound like an episode from Schwarzer Spiegel?
