TapTechNews July 11th news, Elon Musk and the Neuralink team conducted a live stream on X, which is quite an 'update conference', and answered the questions raised by netizens.

He said that Neuralink plans to implant its device in the second human patient within about a week and hopes to implant its brain-computer interface chip in 'high single-digit' patients by the end of this year.

According to Neuralink's previous plan, they originally intended to implant chips in 10 patients this year and hope to have different subjects participate in order to study various behaviors. TapTechNews noted that Neuralink's goal is to implant its chips in thousands of human patients within a few years.

He said that Neuralink can allow patients to control the limbs of robots with their brains, which is faster than the natural brain-limb connection. Elon Musk also said that the ultimate goal of Neuralink is to mitigate the civilization risks brought by AI by establishing a symbiotic relationship between humans and digital intelligence.
