Elon Musk finally admitted late Tuesday that Neuralink’s (Musk’s brain-machine interface startup) official goal is to eventually merge human brains with artificial intelligence. The ultimate ending would be to “achieve a symbiosis with artificial intelligence.”
Musk plans to begin human trials on an early version of Neuralink intended to treat brain injuries next year, and he says that by “merging with AI,” humans will be able to keep up with AI. “Ultimately we can do a full brain-machine interface,” Musk said in an announcement that was widely live-streamed, according to a report by Vice.

Indeed, this tis one of the plot lines of the series "Years and Years" that I've been flogging for the last couple of weeks. Series is set in the near future. Adolescent daughter wants to become "pure data." This leads to an adventure with a friend that doesn't end well.
Somewhere Ray Kurzweil is laughing.
