TECH - Elon Musk's Neuralink 'Incredible Technology' Can Make Humans 'Superhuman' Says AI Expert But Warns Of Future 'Biological Bottleneck' | Benzinga
Roman Yampolskiy, an AI safety researcher believes that there’s a likelihood that humans could become obsolete in the wake of technologies like Elon Musk’s Neuralink, which seeks to merge human brains with Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
What Happened: During a discussion with Lex Fridman, Yampolskiy highlights that although AGI like Neuralink offers revolutionary potential for certain use cases, such integrations carry major risks in due course.
Musk’s Neuralink aims to develop brain-machine interfaces that could enhance human capabilities by integrating artificial intelligence directly into the human brain. The promise is bold: overcoming human limitations and enabling direct communication with computational systems.
Lex Fridman mentioned Musk’s vision in the discussion, noting that one approach to ensuring AI safety is “riding the wave of AGI” through such integrations. Yampolskiy acknowledged the incredible potential of Neuralink’s technology, especially for assisting the disabled, a sentiment he supports wholeheartedly.
However, the conversation quickly turned to ...
