No one can say that Elon Musk δεν είναι φιλόδοξος. Ο ιδρυτής και διευθύνων σύμβουλος της Tesla έχει ταυτόχρονα και την εταιρεία για την Εξερεύνηση του Διαστήματος, (Space Exploration Technologies Corp) κοινώς γνωστή και ως SpaceX. He is also a visionary and does not hesitate to put his stamp on everything from renewable energy sources to high-speed public transport.
But it seems that the Mars colonization is not enough.
Now Elon Musk thinks that by implanting tiny electrodes into the brain he could keep the consciousness alive even if the body is dead.
In essence, the Elon Musk allegedly paves the way for people to one day be able to upload their thoughts, memories and collective experiences to a computer via a technologys Neural networks. Neural technology and specifically Neural lace technology is still new, but Musk's ultimate goal is to better interface between humans and machines in features such as our voice, touch and orientation control.
People learned to play with an iPhone keyboard rather quickly, but imagine if we had a direct connection to the device's CPU. This is Musk's vision which, in a nutshell, is about how people of the future will interact with Appliances their.
According to Elon Musk, the change should be done soon so that people do not become inferior beings than AIs.
While the Elon Musk has not yet made any official announcement, has already begun teasing the company.
First with tweets (like this and this), and then with new hires at Neuralink Corp., which sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. Wall Street Journal confirmed the existence of the company through one of its founding members, Max Hodak. Hodak previously founded Transcriptic, a robotic lab startup.
Neuralink first hired Vanessa Tolosa, an engineer at Larence Livermore National Laboratory and flexible electrode specialist Phillip Sabes, a professor at the University of California and a specialist in how the brain controls movement, and Timothy Gardner, a professor at Boston University, where he gained fame when he applied electrodes to birds and studied how they chirped.
Ultimately Neuralink wants to change the way we interact with the devices by linking our minds to the engines we use most: cars, mobile devices, or even smart objects in our smart home. At present, however, people close to the company report that the first products will be rather advanced implants designed to treat brain conditions such as epilepsy or depression.
