Anton Nemkin, Member of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications, in an interview with Life commented An experiment by American businessman Elon Musk to implant a Neuralink implant into a person’s head. The parliamentarian emphasized that the introduction of foreign objects into the human body is dangerous, because there are no medical indications for this procedure. But innovation creates interest, he says.
“It is good that the participant in the experiment is now showing positive indicators, but in order to fully assess how such an implant affects the body, we need to observe him for a long time,” Nemkin said.
According to him, in Russia the new product will be met with skepticism. The deputy concluded that Russians need to know all the nuances to the smallest detail in order to decide on implementing this procedure.
Neuralink, an American company founded by Elon Musk on January 28 for the first time in history implanted is implanted into the human brain. The businessman reported on the social network X that the first volunteer successfully completed the operation and the performance of the device is promising.
Neuralink’s main goal is to develop chips that can be implanted in the human brain to control prosthetics. Musk believes that such neural interfaces will help many people become cyborgs and resist artificial intelligence.
