Elon Musk has revealed his Neuralink startup is close to announcing the first brain-machine interface to connect humans and computers. 企业家埃隆•马斯克近日表示，其创业公司"神经连接"即将公布首个脑机交互界面，该界面可将人脑和计算机连接起来。
The entrepreneur took to Twitter to tell followers the technology would be "coming soon" – though he failed to provide details. 马斯克在推特上告诉粉丝说，这项技术"即将实现"，但他没有透露细节。
Musk has frequently claimed the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) poses an existential risk to humanity. 马斯克已屡次重申，人工智能的飞速发展可能威胁到人类的生存。
At a technology conference in 2016，Musk said humans risked being treated like house pets by AI machines if a brain-computer interface was not built. 马斯克曾在2016年的一次科技会议上说，如果不建立脑机交互系统，将来人工智能机器就会像对待家养宠物一样对待人类。
"I don't love the idea of being a house cat，but what's the solution? I think one of the solutions that seems maybe the best is to add an AI layer." 他说："我不想成为家猫，那该怎么解决这个问题呢？我觉得似乎最好的办法就是在人脑中增加一个人工智能分层。"
