Sam Altman Launches Startup Aiming to Merge AI with Human Intelligence
The tech rivalry between Elon Musk and Sam Altman appears poised to expand beyond artificial intelligence into the emerging field of neural technology. Fresh reports indicate OpenAI's leadership is entering the brain-computer interface space, setting up direct competition with Musk's Neuralink venture.
The Financial Times reveals Altman and OpenAI are investing in Merge Labs, a new startup focused on developing neural implants. This strategic move follows Altman's longstanding fascination with human-machine integration - a concept he dubbed "the merge" in a 2017 blog post that explicitly connected to his OpenAI vision:
The merge can take a variety of forms: We might integrate neural interfaces, or perhaps develop intimate relationships with AI assistants. Either way, I believe this convergence represents humanity's most promising path forward.
