Tim Urban has produced, once again, a fascinating piece on one the topics that will likely shape what our future looks like. This time focusing his attention on Elon Musk and the sheer ambition on his most recent project: Neuralink.
If successful in building his targeted brain-machine (or brain-computer) interface, Musk will enable a cognitive revolution of unprecedented dimension, at par if not above the development of human language.
Starting from the basic rudimentary concepts and the foundational knowledge required to grasp the wide-ranging implications of Neuralink's stated goals, Urban is at his best crafting an engaging narrative with his unique style.
As before with topics like Artificial Intelligence or the future of energy and electric cars, Urban has created a powerful educational resource for the non-specialist that I believe will have a lasting impact as an unorthodox, often-cited reference.
This ambition of de-skilling the understanding of complex subjects is aligned with the work that we devote ourselves to at Iris.AI, namely, the pending democratisation of effective access to scientific research.
