Elon Musk's startup Neuralink says cleared for human test of brain implants
Elon Musk’s startup Neuralink said on Thursday that it had received authorisation from US regulators to test its brain implants on humans. Neuralink said authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration for its first-in-human clinical research is “an important first step” for its technology, which is meant to allow brains to communicate directly with computers. “We are excited to share that we have received the FDA’s approval to launch our first-in-human clinical study,” Neuralink said in a post on Musk-run Twitter. Musk has contended that synching minds with machines are vital if people are going to avoid being so outpaced by AI that, under the best of circumstances, humans would be akin to “house cats.” Experts and academics remain cautious about his vision of symbiotically merging minds with super-powered computing.
