Elon Musk’s Neuralinkshowcase spurs mind-copying discussion about AI and self-driving cars
Elon Musk recently presented the latest efforts of Neuralink, a company that he founded in 2016 and which has grand aspirations of developing an implantable Brain-Machine Interface or BMI (for my prior coverage on Neuralink see the link here, for my analysis of the potential future of BMI, see the link here). Despite some interesting show-and-tell, including pigs involved in the ongoing experiments, much of the discussion was rather speculative and spurred some to later ask where’s the beef, likening the event as little more than neuroscience theatre and noting some internal angst about the way that the engineering and science is being conducted.
