VIDEO: US medical startup announces plan to conduct first AI-powered head transplant
In a groundbreaking announcement, Neuroscience and biomedical engineering startup, BrainBridge has claimed to have developed the world’s first artificial intelligence (AI) head transplant system.
According to the US-based startup, the pioneering technology is designed to perform head transplants with unprecedented precision, using advanced robotics and real-time molecular-level imaging.
The procedure would graft a head onto the body of a brain-dead donor, maintaining the memories, cognitive abilities and consciousness of the transplanted individual.
