OpenAI invests in CEO Sam Altman’s startup Merge Labs, emerges with Elon Musk’s Neuralink rivals
In a response to Elon Musk’s Neuralink specialising in Brain Computer Interface (BCI), OpenAI has made a strategic investment in Merge Labs – a San Francisco-based BCI startup co-founded by former Neuralink engineers and backed by Sam Altman. The funding round positions Merge Labs as a serious contender in the rapidly growing BCI space, directly challenging Elon Musk’s Neuralink and ramping up the competition in the BCI space.
