One of his most audacious ideas revolves around the preservation of human consciousness through advanced brain-computer interfaces. To achieve full uploading, Musk has even floated radical ideas, like replacing human skulls to accommodate more electrodes for deeper interfacing. Musk founded xAI to “understand the universe”, but he views AI as both a threat and an ally to human consciousness. AI could process uploaded data, refining it for seamless transfer, or simulate environments for digital minds. In conclusion, Elon Musk’s ideas on uploading consciousness challenge our mortality and humanity’s future.
