Elon Musk says monkeys with chips embedded in their brains have succeeded in playing video games with 'thinking'



In 2017, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk launched Neuralink , a startup that aims to connect the human brain to AI. Neuralink has announced an embedded chip 'Link' that connects the human brain and AI, but Mask CEO has newly announced a video game in which a monkey with a chip embedded in the brain is in an application called ' Clubhouse '. He said he succeeded in playing with 'thinking'.

Clubhouse is an invitation-only voice chat app that has increased 2 million users in 10 days and is said to be used by 5 million users at the time of article creation. Mr. Musk gave a talk show using this Clubhouse from 22:00 on January 31, 2021 and mentioned Neuralink in it.

'It's like a Fitbit in the skull, with a small wire that connects to the brain,' said Mask CEO of Neuralink's embedded chip. He said he had already experimented with implanting chips in the monkey's brain and letting him play video games with 'thinking.' He added that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspector general commented on the monkey experiment as 'the best monkey facility I have ever seen at work.'

Neuralink has succeeded in implanting chips in the brains of pigs and monkeys at the time of writing the article, but experiments on humans have not yet been conducted. On the other hand, in the past, CEO Musk also mentioned the idea that 'embedding in the human brain enables telepathy and speeds up communication' and 'injects thoughts into robots after the death of a person'. I will. In addition, he said that in the near future, people with brain and spine injuries would like to use chips to control their devices through thought.

On February 1st, the day after the talk show, CEO Musk posted an employee recruitment post on Twitter saying, 'Think about working at Neuralink!'.
