Elon Musk Thinks AI Brain Chips
Could ‘Solve’ Autism and Schizophrenia.
In a recent interview on the ‘Artificial
Intelligence’ podcast, Musk spoke
about the future plans for his neural-
technology company, Neuralink.
According to Musk, Neuralink’s brain-implanted
AI chip will one day solve “brain-related diseases.”.
“[It] could be anything from, like, autism, schizophrenia,
memory loss — like, everyone experiences memory
loss at certain points in age ...”
Elon Musk, to ‘Artificial Intelligence’.
It is unclear what Musk meant since autism and schizophrenia
are not diseases but rather developmental disorders. .
"Autism is not an illness or disease and
cannot be 'cured.' Often people feel being autistic
is a fundamental aspect of their identity."

Musk went on to say that his eventual
goal is to “merge human consciousness with AI.”.
“We will not be able to be smarter than a digital
supercomputer, so, therefore, if you cannot beat 'em, join 'em.”
