This
below video looks into Elon Musk's plan to develop a
link between man
and machine that has never been seen before through
Neuralink.
Musk states that humans will never be as smart as a digital
supercomputer and therefore we would have to combine with machines
in order to survive.
Musk also claims that
A.I. and robotics will
bring about the age of abundance.
The long term aspiration for Neuralink would be to achieve a symbiosis with artificial
intelligence (A.I.) and this is a frightening concept.
This symbiosis would also bring about a democratization of
intelligence so that it is not a politically monopoly held in a
purely digital form by governments and large corporations.
Must
believes that the interface implant will be available technology in
less than a decade as we already have a tertiary layer of
consciousness that comes from the electric devices we
all use on a
daily basis.
It must be noted that Musk believes that since we input output,
limited symbiosis with A.I. seems like a logical solution.
This would
also mean that over time we would drift away from machine
intelligence meaning we could focus efforts on other areas.
Musk
also claims that this technology has practical uses in helping
restore function to those with brain damage or even delaying to
symptoms of dementia.
