OpenAI has led a 250 million dollar seed round for Merge Labs, valuing the brain-computer interface startup at 850 million dollars. This strategic move signals a shift from invasive surgical implants to non-invasive ultrasound and molecular technologies for mind-machine interaction. By providing the high-bandwidth link between human neurons and AI, Merge Labs aims to create a scalable platform for direct neural interaction. This investment indicates that the future of AGI involves a biological merger rather than just external tools. 🧠✨
