Today with great developments in technology, no wonder what surprises you next. One must be familiar to these new ideas that might change our way of living and visualizing the world around. One of these is the Neuralink mind-chips.
According to a recent tweet of Elon Musk, his brain computer chip company Neuralink is working on making devices that might connect human brains to computers. He thinks that humans must becomes like one of those machines in order to survive being replaced by artificial intelligence.
His plans to "save the human race" involves wiring computer chips into our minds to merge us with the artificial intelligence. It will use laser to shoot holes in skull and feed threads of electrodes into the brains. Once implanted, this chip could connect brain waves to an app and maybe able to help people with neurological conditions.
The concept design of this has not yet been revealed. However Musks thinks this could be used to "restore brain and motor functions".
If this works then this chips might develop "symbiotic relationship" between AI and humanity.
The research team at Neuralink rightly pointed out in a white paper that there are currently two ways to record the activity happening behind our skulls: either non-invasive means, which stay clear of actually entering the brain, but as a result are less accurate; or invasive electrodes, which creep near the cortex but are limited in the scope of the signals they can track.
The company wanted to combine the best results of both. So they developed threads ten times thinner than the human hair, which can be implanted in the brain to wirelessly monitor the neuron activity.
This mind reading technology could be a big leap forward.
