News Brief: Neuralink, the Elon Musk-led startup, is working on technology that’s based around ‘threads’, which can be implanted in human brains with much less potential impact to the surrounding brain tissue versus what’s currently used for today’s brain-computer interfaces. At the Neuralink’s event, Musk said that long-term, Neuralink really is about figuring out a way to “achieve a sort of symbiosis with artificial intelligence.” He went on to say, “This is not a mandatory thing. This is something you can choose to have if you want.”
