IT Home reported on February 18 that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently said in a podcast that he is cautious about the current brain-computer connection and will not try to implant a brain chip for the time being.
Speaking on the "Morning Brew Daily" podcast, Zuckerberg said, "One of the craziest things we're working on is neural interfaces. I'm not talking about the kind of chip that is implanted directly in the brain, maybe there will be this technology in the future, but I certainly won't use the first generation. ”
He further explains: "I think the technology needs to be further matured until it doesn't need to be upgraded every year. ”
Although he didn't mention a specific company, one of the most well-known brain-computer interface research and development companies at the moment is Elon Musk's neuralink. Musk said last month that Neuralink had implanted a chip into a human patient's brain for the first time.
Musk said Neuralink's goal is to "be autistic and psychotic and give people access to devices like phones or computers just by thinking." However, autism and psychosis are widely recognized as neurodevelopmental disorders rather than diseases.
IT House noted that scientists who study the brain are skeptical that Neuralink's technology can "** abnormalities in the brain or alter its developmental structure, believing that the technology is more likely to help people with paralysis live more easily."
As for Meta, Zuckerberg talked about a wristband that the company is working on that integrates artificial intelligence technology that can recognize gestures, such as allowing users to text a friend through gestures, saying: "In the future, you will be able to do things like typing and controlling devices by thinking about how to move your hand." ”
