According to the report, some time ago, Elon Musk, known as the modern version of "Iron Man", has a new big move, his brain-computer interface company Neuralink, through a public video, shows that the company's current research and development of chips, has allowed monkeys to play games like humans after neural linking, this video was sent, immediately triggered a hot discussion.
Implanted in the human brain within 1 year!
Neuralink launched this smart chip research and development project as early as 2016, and in 2019, Musk also said in an interview that in the development of smart chips, a great technological breakthrough has been made, and it is believed that in about 2020, it can be tested on the human body.
However, for some reasons, the plan to test on humans last year was not successful, and Neuralink, which is currently testing smart chips, is still experimenting through monkeys.
In the information released some time ago, Musk said that after implanting a smart chip in the brain of the monkey in the experiment, the monkey can play games like heat, of course, this also means that the monkey with the smart chip also becomes smarter under the action of neural links.
Now, Musk believes that the time is ripe, from the current technical level of smart chips, it can already be tested in the human brain, and now, some volunteers have applied to Neuralink to accept the experiment.
At the same time, Musk also said that the ultimate purpose of the research and development of this smart chip is also to cure some diseases of the nervous system after implanting smart chips in the human brain.
At present, Musk's Neuralink company, a decent person, communicates with the relevant departments, hoping to obtain permission to carry out smart chips on the human body, and if all goes well, the experiment will be officially launched in the human body before the end of this year.
What can smart chips help humans do?
According to the explanation given by Neuralink at present, this smart chip can read and write various activities of the brain after implanting in the brain, and connect with the computer, so that by issuing instructions, people can complete more things with the help of smart chips.
For example, if some people are paralyzed, then they can get back on their feet with the help of this smart chip, of course, in fact, this smart chip can do much more than that, for example, in Musk's vision, in the future, human beings may also be able to achieve immortality through more advanced smart chips.
Can smart chips help humans achieve immortality?
Many researchers believe that human beings are very likely to achieve immortality before the end of the 21st century, of course, this immortality is actually very controversial, because the so-called immortality does not mean that human beings achieve immortality through the immortal body, but store their consciousness on a small chip, and then implant this chip into the superintelligent body, or upload it all to the supercomputer, through the form of "consciousness body", to achieve immortality.
For example, Kurzweil, the chief engineer of the skeleton, has said in public many times that he believes that according to the current speed of scientific and technological development of human beings, if human beings can make new breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence in a short period of time, then, about 2045, human beings can truly achieve immortality.
Of course, in fact, the immortality method mentioned by Kurzweil is similar to the immortality that Musk is looking forward to, in simple terms, through the combination of AI and nanotechnology, 3D printing artificial organ technology, and non-biological intelligence technology. To put it more bluntly, it is still a combination of humans and super artificial intelligence to create a "new human".
Speaking of which, as early as 2012, before Musk officially launched the smart chip project, hundreds of scientists believed that humans could achieve immortality in 2045.
At the time, the scientists also jointly carried out a plan called "Avatar", which is to store the human mind in a chip, and then put the chip in the artificial intelligence body, so as to achieve immortality.
However, whether this plan can succeed or not, and whether human beings can achieve immortality through intelligent chips in the future, we will not talk about this problem, but for the point of human immortality, many scientists are not optimistic.
The reason is simple, because human immortality may not be a good thing, such as when human beings are no longer controlled by the laws of nature and have completely become "robots" with consciousness chips.
So, does it also mean that the human species itself has disappeared from nature? Because "robots" are not biological, naturally, after humans become "robots", they cannot continue to produce, what do you think about this?
