Elon Musk wants to reach your brain

Besides the potential benefit and definite dangers, I'm still not convinced that I want to be synced with the internet. Ideally, it would be a super fast, ad-free, factual place for knowledge. Until there's a guarantee that I'm not going to hear a Geico commercial every 10 min in my subconscious, I'm not interested. Neuralink #artificialintellegence https://lnkd.in/e2uxnyF

Not sure what I make of Elon Musk wanting to put chips in our brains, but one thing is for certain — neurotechnology is coming forward in leaps and bounds. Last year I met researchers who had designed a new kind of brain scanner that is much lighter and more portable than traditional MEG scanners, which is way better for children and people with mobility issues. They also transformed by brain activity into a light show, which is pretty damn cool.

A few years ago I started working on a project on artificial intelligence, B1R0N. This film dealt with many of the ethical and social problems due to the implementation of artificial intelligence within the human body. To give an example, when you go for an exam or a job interview, technological equipment is prohibited, but if these become invisible... well, a problem arises. One category of people would have an advantage over the other. You could identify them before the exam, and then exclude them or make them compete with their category, I called implanted. But, is it ethically sound that we should be able to distinguish between those who make use of this technology, and those you don't? Is it not a personal choice to make a hole in the brain to amplify, for example, the computational power? Because this is what we will talk about in the coming years. Today Elon Musk's Neuralink presented the chip that allows the computer to interact with thoughts. We are talking about mice and monkeys now, but it is an incredible step towards the union between man and machine. It is possible that in the near future your child may decide to become a cyborg. #artificialintelligence #project #datascience #deeplearning #machinelearning #technology #thefuture #today #science #neuralink #hr

Last week: I watched The Matrix for the first time Today: Elon Musk's secretive company Neuralink, an organization developing “ultra-high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers,” makes its first public announcement. It's wild that a plot device (no pun intended) that was "out-there" even through the lens of science fiction is an area of serious technological focus just 20 years later. According to Musk, human minds need to plug into the internet so that our species can keep up with AI. At this point, I think we might need it just to keep up with him. #Neuralink #ElonMusk #AI #SciFi #TheMatrix

Elon Musk's Neuralink just posted its first job openings. Here's who the brain-computer-interface company will be hiring first (hint: it's a lot of engineers, not surprisingly). #alternativedata #hci #jobs

The future will look like an episode straight out of Netflix's #BlackMirror! Regardless, it seems both exciting & scary at the same time. #elonmusk #tesla #technology

- Extremely tiny "threads" about the size of a neuron (thinner than a human hair) - Robotic system for inserting electrodes into the brain (as simple as LASIK surgery) Elon Musk developed a high bandwidth brain-machine interface #Neuralink to connect humans and machines. The billionaire SpaceX and Tesla CEO explained the science of his secretive brain startup's technology which he is bankrolling the majority of this endeavor as well as acting as its CEO, with $100 million of the $158 million it's raised so far. Little scary for me, I think I’ll wait for Neurolink 2.0 ??

I’m excited for Neuralink’s announcement tonight. Who else is tuning in to watch at 8:00 pm Pacific Time? https://lnkd.in/gkcsAZR #bci #neuralink #neuroscience

My take on the human-machine interface, neuralink, and future of enterprise interface. #ai #enterprise #neuralink @Neuralink #bmi @elonmusk
