Neuralink, Elon Musk’s company, began recruit candidates for the first experiments of brain implants with humans. The tycoon has said ad nauseam that his objective is to help paralyzed patients communicate, but the main plan is quite worrying.
Six years ago he spoke about him, and many are unaware of these statements. Were remembered by Xataka recently.
During the World Government Summit in Dubai in 2017, Elon Musk spoke about the need for Humans will merge with machines to become cyborgs.
And today we relate it directly to the work of Neuralink.
Let’s see What Elon Musk said back then and how similar it is to what his company currently shows, cited by CNBC.
Elon Musk stated during his 2017 audience in Dubai: “Over time, I think we will probably see a closer fusion between biological intelligence and digital intelligence.”
“It’s mainly about bandwidth, speed of the connection between the brain and the digital version of oneself, in particular the performance,” added the billionaire.
For Musk, at a time when Artificial Intelligence threatens to become widespread, humans would be useless, so it is necessary to merge with machines.
Let us remember: the statements They are from 2017.
“Some high-bandwidth interface with the brain will be something that helps achieve a symbiosis between human and machine intelligence, and maybe it will solve the control problem and the utility problem,” said the billionaire.
Elon Musk’s great fear points to deep Artificial Intelligence, which goes beyond self-driving cars. It is, in his words, an AI “smarter than the smartest human being in the world”, which for him can become a “dangerous situation.”
Will Neuralink be able to take human beings to another level? facing the rise of Artificial Intelligence? Should we definitely worry about Elon Musk’s plan with brain chips?
