Artificial intelligence in the human brain nears as the first Telepathy surgery carried out on Sunday is successful. Telepathy is Neuralink’s first product to allow users to control a computer or phone just by thinking.
The first human implanted with a chip from Elon Musk’s computer-brain interface company Neuralink has recovered and can move a computer mouse with thought alone. This was announced by the tech billionaire on Monday while giving a brief insight into the firm’s progress on the Neuralink product. Elon Musk made this known during an X Spaces event hosted by journalist Katherine Brodsky.
Musk explained that the chip in the human brain will help to restore lost abilities like movement and sight and enhance others like memory and intelligence. This may be a breakthrough in the medical sciences, this time, powered by artificial intelligence.
The surgery was aided by Neuralink’s surgical robot, marking a milestone for the company and its efforts to directly connect brains to computers. Earlier in September, the company had received permission to recruit patients to test their device’s ability to help people with paralysis regain lost functions by controlling computers with thought.
So far, the surgery has been adjudged successful according to Elon Musk as he stated the extent of the patient's exploration of the computer and also noted that multiple actions like holding a button while moving a mouse can be key to unlocking different actions on a computer.
Progress is good... the patient is suffering no ill effects the company is aware of. The patient is able to move the mouse around a screen just by thinking. Neuralink is trying to get as many button presses as possible from thinking.- Elon Musk.
Elon Musk added that Neuralink is trying to make progress on having more than just 2 buttons. Neuralink hopes this development will be used as a wireless interface between the brain and the computer.
Neuralink is still in the early stages of testing this development and hopes to widely deploy this technology to be able to “read” brains and control computers in a more sophisticated way in the years to come.
