Elon Musk wants us to merge with AI and now you can put a chip in your brain that controls your devices via Bluetooth. After two years of development, Musk's startup Neuralink unveiled system consists of a chip implant and a hearing aid-like device.
The chip implant uses "threads" consisting of ultra-thin electrodes that a robot can sew into the subject brain. The thread would transmit data to the hearing aid-like device before it relays to the connected device.
Theoretically, the threads implanted can connect the users' brain wirelessly to their phones or computers, enabling them to control devices with mere thoughts. This could change the lives of prosthetics users and patients in a persistent vegetative state.
Neuralink demonstrated the technology on lab rats, and the company plans to work on humans next year.
