ELON MUSK’S NEURALINK. Can a Neuralink implant help a paralyzed person take control of external devices with his thoughts? Soon AI will tell us the answer. Last week a surgical robot implanted the Neuralink for the first time into a live human brain. Now the unnamed human subject is recovering well, says Elon Musk, who owns and runs Neuralink.
The brain-computer interface is now operating in the area of the brain that controls intentions to move. Before long we will know whether that person can control phones & access social media with their minds.
Musk is recruiting only paralyzed or otherwise disabled subjects for these trials. But if they work, and pass required safety analysis & testing, they may become commercially available. Thankfully Musk, a proponent of free thought and free speech, is the one pioneering this research.
In 2021 Musk said he created Neuralink “to effectively achieve symbiosis with digital intelligence… Then the collective human can better steer things in the direction that we’d like. Or even with benign AI, at least go along for the ride… We’re already at this point partially a cyborg… in that our phones and computers and applications are a digital extension of ourselves.”
Also, Musk has said that Neuralink will help humans catch up with AI so that AI won’t turn against us. But can this brain chip be used to monitor us, and our thoughts? Neuralink Blog says “a cyber security buff warned that implants could be hijacked in order to ‘erase or disrupt’ people’s skills or memories.” And others say that such an implant might be hacked by online crooks.
Who will answer these crucial questions—humans or AI?
Of course, Musk stresses its positive potential to help paraplegics walk and soldiers control drones with thoughts. But that’s a lot of power. What will keep this power from being corrupted?
More questions: while the thinker controls external devices, how much can the system control the thinker? With so much artificial intelligence involved, can the thinker separate his own intelligence from AI?
Can a hostile government, or another bad actor, control the AI in ways that controls people’s minds? Or can the AI become so intelligent that humans can’t control it at all? We had better start praying now that we learn to limit AI before it puts limits on us.
