Neuralink Wireless Brain Implant
Founded by Elon Musk, Neuralink is on a mission to allow humans to interface directly with AI in hopes of keeping the nascent technology from destroying humanity. Really. Recently demonstrated inside a pig, its latest implant has 1,024 thin electrodes that penetrate the outer layer of the brain and a Bluetooth connection to an outboard computing device. While the eventual aspirations remain a long way off, in the short term the company hopes to help people with brain and spinal cord injuries or congenital defects regain lost function.
