Sam Altman, OpenAI will reportedly back a startup that takes on Musk’s Neuralink

Neuralink's Rivals Emerge: OpenAI May Back New Brain-Computer Interface

Could a new player disrupt the brain-computer interface (BCI) market?

Neuralink, Elon Musk's ambitious neurotechnology company, continues to push boundaries in BCI development. But they may soon face stiff competition from a surprising source: OpenAI, the powerhouse behind ChatGPT.

Sources close to the situation indicate that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is exploring the possibility of backing a new startup focused on developing its own brain-computer interface technology. This potential move could signal a major shift in the BCI landscape, pitting two tech giants against each other in a race for neurological dominance.

While neither OpenAI nor Altman have publicly confirmed these developments, industry insiders suggest that the move aligns with OpenAI's broader strategy of exploring cutting-edge technologies with transformative potential.
