Neuralink

Called brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs for short, these systems use tiny electrodes placed in the brain to “read” signals from nearby neurons. Software then decodes these signals into commands or actions, such as moving a cursor or a robotic arm. In 2019, Musk claimed his company’s device would eventually allow people to achieve a “symbiosis with artificial intelligence.” 

The company, founded in 2016, is still far from merging our brains with AI. In a livestreamed “show and tell” event Wednesday evening, the Neuralink team presented a grab bag of improvements to its technology. Musk did say that Neuralink has begun submitting paperwork for a human clinical trial to the Food and Drug Administration, and hopes to implant a Neuralink device in a patient in six months. “We've been working hard to be ready for our first human, and obviously we want to be extremely careful and certain that it will work well before putting a device in a human,” Musk said. 

Researchers have been developing BCIs since the 1960s, but the devices are still considered experimental and none are commercially available. Only a few dozen people around the world have been outfitted with these interfaces as part of research studies, which have given paralyzed volunteers the ability to translate thoughts into speech, feel sensation again, and move a wheelchair. But the technology is still in its infancy.

Ihmisen ja tietokoneen välinen kommunikaatio kehittyy pikkuhiljaa. Itse en kyllä ottaisi piiriä aivoihin ainakaan kovin mielelläni. Niissä on varmaan aika paljon kehittämisen varaa ennen kuin sellainen on hyvä pidemmän päälle.

Invalidien auttaminen on tietysti toinen juttu kuin terveille tarkoitetut implantit.
