Neuralink, says Musk, is going to go the invasive route. Both Musk and Hodak spoke about the potential for its company’s neural implants to improve the lives of people with brain damage and other brain disabilities. That goal is to use the company’s chips to create a “tertiary level” of the brain that would be linked to artificial intelligence. “After solving a bunch of brain related diseases there is the mitigation of the existential threat of AI,” he continued. “It’s not going to be like suddenly Neuralink will have this incredible new interface and take over people’s brains,” he said.
