Within six months, Musk's Neuralink aims to put its computing implant in the human brain

Within six months, Neuralink Corp., a company founded by Elon Musk, plans to begin implanting its coin-sized computational brain implant into human patients. The business is also working on implants for the spinal cord that might allow paralyzed people to move again. Also included is an eye implant designed to enhance or restore human vision. Musk has come under fire for allegedly exaggerating the benefits of Neuralink's innovations and making unwarranted claims about its potential.

Musk has been pushing his engineers to advance state-of-the-art brain implant technology. His business, Neuralink, has already fallen short of a few of the billionaire's lofty deadlines for implanting brain-computer interfaces (BCI) in individuals. At a meeting for a product review, Musk said to his staff, "we will all be dead before something useful happens." Musk worries that the work done by his engineers at Neuralink will not keep up with the advancements in AI. Musk envisions a time when people will have outpatient BCI brain implants.
