JAKARTA - Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted on Sunday, October 23 that he was forced to step back a month from the date for Neuralink's "show & tell" event until November 30. Unfortunately, he did not provide further information, about why this should be done.

The world's richest man and developer of the SpaceX rocket said earlier in August that the event would be held on October 31.

Neuralink show & tell now on Nov 30

Neuralink, the San Francisco-based company founded by Musk in 2016, aims to be ready to implant wireless brain-computer chips to help treat neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's, dementia, and spinal cord injuries. This technology is claimed to be able to combine humans with artificial intelligence.

Musk said in a 2019 presentation that Neuralink aims to receive regulatory approval for human trials of chip implants by the end of 2020. But to date, the company has not received such approval or brought its products to market.

Musk approached brain chip implant developer Synchron Inc about a potential investment after he expressed frustration with Neuralink employees over their slow progress to win regulatory clearance for his device.

If this technology is really able to be realized, it will be a radical development for humans to enter the digital world, especially those using artificial intelligence.
