Device that connects human cortex to computer

The ultimate goal of the project is for the brain to be able to connect data with software, catch up with artificial intelligence and possess AI-like super intelligence.

According to The Wall Street Journal, billionaire Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has just introduced a technology project that could dramatically change human intelligence.

The project, called Neuralink, will create devices that allow the human cortex to connect with computers. The technology, called “Neural Lace,” will create devices that allow microscopic electrodes to be implanted into the brain. This will initially support the human brain, such as helping to improve memory, treat neurological diseases, etc. Ultimately, the brain will be able to connect data with software, catch up with artificial intelligence, and possess super intelligence like AI.

This is considered an ambitious project of Elon Musk who wants humans to beat AI in the race with artificial intelligence. Not only Musk but also other famous scientists are worried about a human disaster caused by AI in the future. Physics king Stephen Hawking once warned: "Humans, limited by slow biological evolution, will not be able to compete with artificial intelligence and will be replaced."

Musk isn't the only one trying to create ways to ensure humanity can keep up with AI.

Kernel - a company founded by Braintree, Bryan Johnson, recently invested more than 100 million USD in brain research, new surgical techniques, software and implantable devices to realize the creation of a brain-computer interface.

Of course, there are many barriers to making these ideas a reality. Neuroscientists say we have a very limited understanding of how neurons in the human brain communicate. Therefore, developing devices that can be implanted in the human brain will still face many difficulties./.
