Artificial intelligence: Elon Musk puts computer chips in animal brains - Daily Times

Elon Musk, the founder of the American company Tesla and SpaceX, demonstrated how to connect a computer chip made by his new company'Neuralink' to the animal brain. Elon Musk's company, Neuralink, has developed a chip in just four years, which is being hailed as the beginning of a new era in the world of medicine and technology. Musk, however, has expressed fears in the past that artificial intelligence will overtake the human mind in the future, and has apparently acknowledged the natural faculties of the human mind. Neuralink aims to implant wireless brain-computer interfaces that include thousands of electrodes in the most complex human organ to help cure neurological conditions like Alzheimer's, dementia and spinal cord injuries and ultimately fuse humankind with artificial intelligence. "An implantable device can actually solve these problems," Musk said on a webcast Friday, mentioning ailments such as memory loss, hearing loss, depression and insomnia.
