Neuralink is building a fully integrated Brain Computer Interface (BCI) system.
Also called a brain-machine interface (BMI).

Either way, BCIs are technologies that enable a computer or other digital device to be controlled directly with brain activity.
  • Elon Musk’s Neuralink has applied to the FDA for approval to begin human trials.
  • If approval is granted, the company is likely to start human testing on the device in 2023.
  • The company believes that they will be able to potentially restore sight in blind people and could even give people with severed spinal cords the ability to walk again.
  • Musk has stated that he plans to implant one of devices into his own brain once they’re ready.
In the short term, the aim is to allow people with brain or spinal cord injuries to gain back function. Musk stated at a recent Neurlink event that the initial applications for the device could include the ability to restore vision for the blind, and even to allow paralysed people to walk again.

Interfaced to AI, why wouldn't this evolve to allow anyone to query a deep learning Nural network to mine data from the world knowledgebase and abstact that into new an unique solutions. beyone the individuals unaided capabilities.

Exciting? Frigtening?
