马斯克指出,Neuralink正致力于开发直接的脑机接口。该技术已帮助身体失能者重新操控电脑与手机,并有望通过绕过受损脊髓使瘫痪者恢复行走能力。在感官层面,Neuralink有潜力恢复视觉,即便对于失去双眼或视神经的人;初期视觉或较粗糙,但最终可达到极高精度,甚至实现“超人类视觉”。马斯克将运动与视觉功能的恢复视为最重大的潜在突破之一。
Elon Musk on Neuralink today:
• Neuralink is building a direct brain-to-AI interface.
• It has already helped people who lost body control use computers and phones again.
• He believes it could help people walk again by bypassing damaged parts of the spine.
• Neuralink may also restore vision, even for people who lost both eyes or optic nerves.
• Early vision may be limited, but over time it could become extremely precise.
• It could eventually lead to "superhuman vision"
• He called restoring movement and sight one of the biggest breakthroughs possible.
