At a meeting announcing some achievements achieved with Neuralink on November 30, American billionaire Elon Musk said that when this technology is ready to be applied to humans, he will implant a brain chip into his body.

After the event, Musk continued to reiterate this on Twitter. He also confirmed this when journalist Ashlee Vance asked if it was true that he would participate in a brain chip implant trial. His answer was “Yes”.

At the event, Musk said, Neuralink has submitted most of its documents to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – US Food and Drug Administration and is waiting for approval.

He hopes that Neuralink will begin this testing in the next 6 months at the earliest.

Neuralink was founded by Musk and a group of scientists and engineers in 2016 with the goal of developing a brain-computer interface (BCI), connecting the human brain to a computer that can decode neural signals. .

Elon Musk founded Neuralink in 2016. He hopes the company will successfully develop a “brain-computer interface” to treat brain diseases as well as allow humans to merge with AI in the future.

In 2019, Mr. Musk promised to put a brain chip into the human body by 2020, but this project has not yet been implemented.

Meanwhile, Synchron – Neuralink’s rival has been approved by the FDA since 2019 and has tested implanting chips on human brains in Melbourne mid-year.

Also at the event on November 30, Neuralink demonstrated its latest achievement in a video. Early last year, the company successfully tested implanting a chip into the skull of a monkey and was able to play games.
