![]() ![]() DeepMind has "run out of games to win at basically," said Musk, who was an early investor in the company. To illustrate the pace of progress in AI, the innovator - who believes that machine intelligence will eventually surpass human intelligence - pointed to breakthroughs made at research labs like OpenAI, which he co-founded, and DeepMind, a London AI lab that was acquired by Google in 2014. On Thursday, Musk said the first Neuralink product will allow a paralyzed human to use a smartphone with their mind faster than someone using their thumbs.ĪI is only going to get smarter and Neuralink's technology could one day allow humans to "go along for the ride," Musk said in an interview on Clubhouse in January. While the technology is still in its infancy, Neuralink hopes that its devices will soon allow paralyzed humans to use their minds to operate machines. Headquartered in San Francisco, Neuralink ultimately wants to increase the rate at which information can flow from the human brain to a machine. An audience was shown real-time neural signals from one of the pigs, which Musk named Gertrude. In August, Neuralink conducted a live demo of its technology on three pigs. "This to me is the advance here, and is important both for improving the safety of human applications (wires through the skin are a potential route for infection) and also as a way of improving the welfare of animals used in neuroscience studies," Jackson said. He said what was "definitely new and innovative" was the fact that there are no cables coming through the skin, and that the brain signals were all being sent wirelessly. "The control in the video looks impressive, but without seeing a proper publication on their data it is hard to say how it compares to the current state-of-the-art." "The first comparable demonstrations were published in 2002 although it could be argued the idea dates back to work by Eberhard Fetz in the 1960s," said Jackson, adding that the approach has also been tested in humans since 2006. Indeed, the YouTube video shows Pager controlling a paddle in the arcade game Pong while the joystick is unplugged.īut Andrew Jackson, Professor of Neural Interfaces at Newcastle University, told CNBC that brain-control of computer cursors by monkeys is not new. Once the decoder had been calibrated, Neuralink said the monkey was able to use it to move the cursor where he wanted it to go, instead of relying on the joystick. ![]()
