Bill Ackman says Neuralink and other brain-computer interfaces will let the blind see again within "not too many years" “And you know, my daughter, who lost pretty much basic function, ability to walk, ability to speak, ability to see, is regaining function. She’s cognitively, as far as I can tell, fine. She’s relearning how to speak, and she’s learning again how to walk. And I’m confident we’re going to get her back." "Biggest challenge right now is that the optic nerve damage from the pressure on the brain has caused her to lose probably 98% of her vision." "But even there I’m optimistic. Spent a lot of time in the last few months meeting with all these brain computer interface companies, obviously Neuralink being the most famous, but there’s some other very promising lower intervention technologies." "And this will be a period, you know, AI is going to enable us. We’re going to be able to get more signal from the brain, and we’re going to be able to interpret that signal much more effectively than we had before. And the blind will see again, and people who have not been able to walk, so to speak, paraplegics, I believe will walk again. It’s a matter of not months but years, but not too many years.”
