JAKARTA - Elon Musk revealed that his neurotechnology company, Neuralink, will mass-produce brain-computer interface (BCI) devices starting in 2026.
In addition to increasing the scale of production, Neuralink also plans to adopt a more concise and almost fully automated surgical procedure.
"Neuralink will begin producing brain-computer interface (BCI) devices in large volumes and move to a more streamlined and almost fully automated surgical procedure in 2026," Musk wrote in his post on X.
Neuralink will start high-volume production of brain-computer interface devices and move to a streamlined, almost entirely automated surgical procedure in 2026.
Device threads will go through the dura, without the need to remove it. This is a big deal. https://t.co/nfNmtFHKsp

He said that one of their main breakthroughs was a method of attaching electrode threads to the brain that could penetrate the dura mater, the outer protective layer of the brain, without having to lift it.
According to Musk, this approach is a big step in improving the safety and efficiency of brain implant procedures.
"The device thread will be inserted through the dura (the protective covering of the brain) without having to lift it. This is a very big deal," said the billionaire.
Meanwhile, at the end of October, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, was rumored to be developing the same technology, which can connect to the human brain without surgery, using sound waves as the main medium.
The project is led by Mikhail Shapiro, a renowned biomolecular engineer from Caltech, and is said to be a noninvasive alternative to Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implant approach.
