Neuralink is the latest venture from Elon Musk - the billionaire entrepreneur behind SpaceX and Tesla Inc. – that seeks to elevate the consciousness of mankind and evolve our species by implanting artificial intelligence directly into living human brains.
Originally developed to help patients recover from brain injuries, the start-up, Neuralink, was founded in 2015 by neuro-tech researchers Pedram Mohseni, a professor at Case Western Reserve University, and his scientific partner, Randolph Nudo of Kansas University Medical Centre, who, after little success, eventually sold the naming rights to Musk in 2016.
Since then, Neuralink has been working on the development of what it calls “neural lace technology” which consists of injecting AI electrodes into living human brains so that knowledge, ideas, information and thoughts can be instantly uploaded/downloaded to/from a computer via the cloud.
Theoretically, over time this technology could drastically increase the capabilities of humankind, enabling us to absorb information and learn new skills in seconds by simply uploading them into our brains. Likewise, our thoughts and ideas could be “backed up” directly onto a computer for later use to ensure that none of our memories are ever forgotten or lost.
