Elon Musk’s Neuralink To Start High-Volume Production of Brain-Chip Devices in 2026; Company Aiming for Fully Automated Surgical Procedures
Elon Musk said Neuralink will begin high-volume production of brain–computer interfaces in 2026, using largely automated surgery. He highlighted a new method passing threads through the dura. Neuralink implanted its first patient, Noland Arbaugh, in January 2024, followed by a second unnamed patient and ALS patient Brad Smith later that year.
Elon Musk announced that his company, Neuralink, would begin high-volume production of brain–computer interface devices in 2026. The technology billionaire, who has previously achieved success with brain-chip implants, said Neuralink would “move to a streamlined, almost entirely automated surgical procedure in 2026.” He further added, “Device threads will go through the dura without the need to remove it. This is a big deal.” Neuralink’s first human patient, Noland Arbaugh, received a brain–computer implant in January 2024, enabling cursor control through thought. A second, unnamed patient was implanted in mid-2024. By late 2024, Brad Smith, an ALS patient, reportedly became the third recipient, expanding the scope of clinical trials and evaluation.
