The Potential Perils of AI: Insights from Yoshua Bengio
The technology could become more intelligent than people and eventually take over, according to Yoshua Bengio
Elon Musk has said his biotech company Neuralink has successfully implanted one of its brain chips in a human for the first time, claiming the recipient is in good condition following the surgery. The firm hopes to create an interface that allows people to control devices using their brains alone.
Musk unveiled the development in a post to his social media site, X (formerly Twitter), on Monday evening, stating that the “first human received an implant from Neuralink yesterday and is recovering well.”
Though he offered few other details, the tech mogul added that initial results had shown “promising neuron spike detection,” referring to brain cells that send chemical and electrical signals to the rest of the body.
Neuralink described its first human trial in a press release last year, dubbed PRIME, or “Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface.” Ultimately, it hopes to develop a “fully implantable, wireless brain-computer interface” that could open up groundbreaking treatments for people suffering from various disabilities, including paralysis.
The company said it would use its R1 Robot to surgically implant the chip in a region of the brain that controls motor function, noting that it is intended to “record and transmit brain signals wirelessly to an app that decodes movement intention.”
The trial was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last May, overcoming allegations that earlier tests resulted in “animal welfare violations.” According to more than 20 current and former Neuralink employees, as well as dozens of internal company documents obtained by Reuters, Musk had pushed Neuralink researchers to “accelerate development,” in some cases resulting in “botched experiments.”
Musk has voiced hopes the brain implant could also allow the blind to regain their sight, among other medical miracles. While the results of the first-in-human trial have yet to be seen, the billionaire has demonstrated the brain chip on more than one occasion, including an April 2021 presentation in which a macaque monkey purportedly played a video game using its mind alone.
