A Playboy model has stated that she wants to be the first person to receive the brain chip produced by Elon Musk’s business Neuralink. Kayla Kayden told The Sun that she wants to be the world’s first “hybrid human”. Mr Musk’s brain chip business gained approval from an independent review body in September last year to conduct the first human trial of its brain implant for paralysis sufferers. Neuralink promises to provide a link between man and machine, allowing humans to engage with robots utilizing their cognitive abilities. Mr Musk has high plans for Neuralink, claiming that it will enable rapid surgical insertions of its chip devices to cure illnesses like obesity, autism, melancholy, and schizophrenia.
“I would be less scared going places alone and I would never have to worry about directions or holding my phone,” says the Playboy model
The adult film star, 35, said she expects the chip to improve her brain power. “People use Botox for their face, this would be the same but for the brain. I won’t have to worry about the effects of ageing on my brain. As a hybrid human, the possibilities are endless,” Ms Kayden told The Sun. She claimed she had saved money for the procedure and signed up for the research too. “I could climb Everest at 90 years old, I could always be working when I don’t have a computer in front of my face. And for safety, I would be less scared going places alone and I would never have to worry about directions or holding my phone,” the Playboy model said. “I would never question anything because I could always get the answer fast. I think if it will make me smarter, I want to do it. I want to be part machine,” Ms Kayden added.
Mr Musk’s detractors have advised against proceeding with the project, claiming it will lead to a dismal future. Neuralink has disputed all of these charges, stating that their goal is to assist people with disabilities. At the time, Neuralink’s initial trial applications are limited to paraplegic sufferers.
