Elon Musk's brain chip Firm Neuralink is ready to test their chip on human beings after being successfully tested on monkeys and Pigs. But the scientists are horrified by this step of Elon Musk.
The man of the Year 2021, Elon Musk, says that his Brain chip technology will enable humans to interact with one another if they are paralyzed, but the scientists are not pretty sure about his propositions.
Moreover, He has also spoken that his Brain-computer interface is the future of human interaction. Many scientists have shown horror in this stride.
However, The Daily Beast reported this week that Researchers and scientists are horrified with Neuralink's initiative to connect Human brains to computers.
However, Dr. Karola Kreitmair, assistant professor of medical history and bioethics at the University of Wisconsin, said to the website:
"don't think there is sufficient public discourse on what the big picture implications of this kind of technology becoming available are,"
Moreover, there have been many ethical issues created by this step of Elon Musk's Neuralink.
Many people are concerned about how the company will exploit the people for their profit as they have promised to help those with disabilities walk.
As in this regard, Dr. L. Syd Johnson, associate professor at the Center for Bioethics and Humanities at SUNY Upstate Medical University,
told the Daily Beast that the company is doing all this for expanding the demand for their products and its market. "then there might be a much, much bigger market," she added.
Moreover, Kreitmair said that this technology will change the life of Paralyzed people, but it has given rise to "a slew of ethical concerns." She told the Daily Beast.
Moreover, some scientists say that Elon musk sometimes jokes with the people, and he sometimes makes grand promises but then returns from those promises.
So it might also be the case with Neuralink that it may astray from its commitments.
As Dr. Laura Cabrera, a neuroethics researcher at Penn State, told the Beast, these companies make great promises, and people sometimes blindly believe in them, which is more dangerous.
She also told the Beast that I am always cautious of the words of Elon Musk that he says.
