The Neuroplasticity Paradox: Why Meta's AI Chief Wants to Wait for Neuralink Alexandr Wang, Meta's chief AI officer, has sparked a debate about the intersection of technology and human development after expressing his desire to delay having children until brain computer interfaces like Elon Musk's Neuralink become more advanced.
His reasoning is rooted in the concept of neuroplasticity – the brain's ability to reorganize itself in response to new experiences.
Wang believes that children's brains are uniquely poised for adaptation, with a high level of neuroplasticity during the first seven years of life.
