China established a steering committee for brain-computer chip development, aiming to lead the world in brain chip technology, competing directly with Elon Musk's Neuralink.
China has established a national committee to guide and promote the development of brain-computer chips (BCI), with the ambition to become a world leader in the field of brain chip technology. This committee is tasked with building nationwide development standards, setting the stage for direct competition with Western technology corporations such as Elon Musk's Neuralink.
A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a device that translates brain signals into language the computer can understand. This term was born in the early 1970s and has been applied in brain research and treatment of neurological diseases. Recently, BCI attracted attention when billionaire Elon Musk founded Neuralink in 2016, promising to bring this technology to the masses.
According to reports, China not only wants to become a pioneer in the field of BCI but also wants to apply this technology to raise awareness. While the specific goal has not been revealed, a report from Wired called a Chinese BCI experiment “controversial” that claimed a device similar to Neuralink could “enhance consciousness.”
With the establishment of a national committee and advances in research, China is showing its ambition to compete fairly with the US in the brain chip technology race, opening up huge potential for the medical and industrial sectors. future technology.
At a technology forum in Beijing… a Chinese company introduced a ‘domestic’ brain-machine interface that allows a monkey to control a robot arm with just thoughts.
According to Wired
Meanwhile, Neuralink recently postponed a second patient's device implant surgery due to medical concerns. Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is also developing a non-invasive BCI, which uses wearable technology to convert nerve impulses into operating system control language for holographic display devices.
