According to BusinessToday , Neuralink - the neurotechnology company of billionaire Elon Musk, has completed the first clinical trial, with devices that help patients communicate with computers using only their thoughts. This is a significant milestone, but statements from Elon Musk, the founder of Neuralink, have made many people doubt its feasibility.
Mr. Musk believes that the Neuralink chip can speed up the brain's processing speed, helping humans overcome the limits of natural thinking so as not to be "left behind" by artificial intelligence (AI). He predicts that in just 5 years, more than 1 million people will be implanted with the chip, with a data transmission speed exceeding 1 million bits per second. Furthermore, Mr. Musk believes that within the next 20 years, hundreds of millions of people will use this technology, leading to an era of "transhumanism".
Neuralink creates brain chips to support medicine, increase communication, improve thinking, connect with AI, and enhance human experience.
However, experts and observers question the reality of these predictions. Neuralink has only achieved initial success, while bold claims such as curing autism, schizophrenia or enhancing vision lack clear scientific evidence.
History also shows that Elon Musk has many projects that have not lived up to his promises. He pledged in 2014 that Tesla would launch fully autonomous cars, but that has yet to materialize. Other promises, such as a high-speed tunnel network or millions of people living on Mars by 2050, remain far-fetched.
Neuralink has the potential to have major medical benefits. The first patients have been able to communicate without using their hands, opening up hope for improving the lives of people with disabilities. But scaling the technology to millions of users will require overcoming technical, ethical, and legal hurdles.
The development of Neuralink raises big questions about the future of humanity in a society where technology could redefine the nature of society. A “transhumanist” class would not only create distance between groups of people but would also require close supervision to prevent abuse.
While the technology has the potential to revolutionize society, Musk’s claims will need to be rigorously tested. Time will tell whether Neuralink lives up to expectations or is just one of Musk’s many bold but unlikely predictions.
