Elon Musk's vision behind Neuralink, as he explains, is fundamentally rooted in addressing the potential risks associated with digital superintelligence. Neuralink’s technology aims to enhance the “bandwidth” of communication between the human brain and digital devices, which could foster a deeper and more integrated relationship with AI. Musk describes this as a way to bring AI into better alignment with human needs and values by creating a closer link between our natural intelligence and our “digital tertiary self,” which includes computers, phones, and software.
