Neuralink, the brain-computer interface company created by Musk, is under a US federal investigation on December 5 local time, according to Reuters for allegedly violating US animal welfare laws. And just last week, Musk also promised to ensure that Neuralink should conduct human trials within 6 months.
On Dec. 1, Musk told Neuralink’s press conference that whether it’s been implanted in sheep, pigs or monkeys, it’s confirmation rather than exploratory. The company will do everything it can to conduct rigorous bench testing. device implantation in animals. “We do everything we can to test these devices, not just before human trials, but before animal trials,” Musk said.
According to dozens of documents from the Neuralink company and more than 20 current and former employees of the company, Musk’s requests to speed up the development process caused the company’s employees to repeat failed experiments, which significantly increased the number of animals tested and killed.
As of now, Musk and other Neuralink executives have not responded to the matter.
