Elon Musk-run brain-machine interface company Neuralink is preparing to launch clinical trials that will implant brain chips in humans. Elon Musk's brain-interface technology company Neuralink may start implanting microchips in human beings from 2022. Neuralink is preparing to launch clinical trials that will implant brain chips in humans. Cofounded by Elon Musk in 2016, Neuralink is working on a chip that would be implanted in our brains to record and stimulate brain activity. This chip is being created for medical applications such as treating serious spinal cord injuries and neurological disorders.

US technology company Neuralink could create'novel exotic species' of dinosaurs in just 15 years, according to Max Hodak, one of its co-founders. Hodak is an American entrepreneur and technologist who co-founded the contentious neurotechnology firm with Elon Musk. The firm, known for putting a computer chip in the brain of a pig, could'probably build Jurassic Park' if it wanted to, Hodak said, in reference to the 1993 blockbuster film. Neuralink is currently working on technology that aims to allow people to hook their brains up to a computer and effectively become cyborgs. Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Laura Dern and Sam Neill watch dinosaur eggs hatch in a scene from the film'Jurassic Park', 1993 Elon Musk's latest company Neuralink is working to link the human brain with a machine interface by creating micron-sized devices.

Elon Musk has a vision of linking human brains to computers in order to avoid our species from being outpaced by artificial intelligence – and this dream is set to become a reality. Speaking on Joe Rogan's podcast, the billionaire said his company Neuralink will have a version of its brain implant ready'within a year.' Musk explained that the process involves removing a chunk of the skull, robots then insert electrodes into the brain and the device into the hole, with only a small scar left behind. Neuralink, which was founded in 2016, is designing tiny flexible'threads' that are ten times thinner than a human hair with the goal of treating brain injuries and trauma. The tech tycoon also revealed that the technology could develop into a full brain interface in just 25 years, which would enable'symbiosis' between humans and AI. Speaking on Joe Rogan's podcast, Elon Musk said his company Neuralink will have a version of its brain implant ready'within a year' 'We're not testing people yet, but I think it won't be too long,' Musk told Rogan.

Elon Musk believes his neural technology company Neuralink will be able to "solve" schizophrenia and autism. Speaking on the Artificial Intelligence podcast with Lex Fridman, published Tuesday, Musk was asked what he thinks are the most exciting impacts he foresees for his company Neuralink. Neuralink's goal is to develop an AI-enabled chip that could be implanted in a person's brain, where it would be able to both record brain activity and potentially stimulate it. "So Neuralink, I think at first will solve a lot of brain-related diseases. So could be anything from like autism, schizophrenia, memory loss -- like everyone experiences memory loss at certain points in age. Parents can't remember their kids' names and that kind of thing," replied Musk.

By now, there's almost no doubt you've heard of or seen the podcast between Elon Musk and Joe Rogan. It grew in controversy when Elon Musk smoked weed and attracted a lot more people to it. However, billionaire Tesla Motors magnate and public figure Elon Musk said a lot more in that interview, and all kinds of headlines were made about what he said. For one, although Elon Musk is a notorious critic of trans-humanism and often emphasizes the possible catastrophic outcomes that artificial intelligence and similar technologies could have on society, in the very same breath he's promoting his own version of technology like that. A great leap into the abyss of trans-humanism, in that same interview Elon Musk discussed his own plans to link the human brain to machine with his company Neuralink.
