BrainBridge, a neuroscience and biomedical engineering startup from the US, has claimed that they are developing the world’s first head transplant system. According to their website, it is “a groundbreaking device that will represent a landmark achievement in the fields of neuroscience, human engineering, and artificial intelligence.”

A video showing how BrainBridge will be doing the head transplant with the help of robots was shared on social media, and it has gone viral. The animated video shows two surgical robots operating on two bodies at the same time. From one body, they remove the head and places it on the other body. The animation further shows how the robots would work on the body if this technology becomes a reality.

As per BrainBridge, this system is a “revolutionary concept for head transplant system, employing cutting-edge robotics and artificial intelligence to ensure successful head and face transplantation procedures with improved outcomes and faster recoveries.”

    Perhaps they could store the celebrities heads in jars if the technology for the transplant isn’t ready yet, keeping them going past the year 3,000?

    Possible strategies: 1) Do the exchange, run up bills in the celebrities name, sell NFTs, profit. Then change back, invest proceeds in Red Lobster. Done.

    Yeah, cuz fuck genuine biological intelligence. I’m aware of the terrible experiments done in the past with dogs and monkeys. I think I’ll pass on being a paralyzed brain dead person running on chips and life support, thank you very much.
