Wild footage shows AI robots ‘transplanting heads onto brain-dead bodies’ with ‘lifesaving’ BrainBridge tech
A BIOMEDICAL company has revealed they plan to make head transplants available within the next 10 years.
Neuroscience and biomedical engineering startup BrainBridge released a video detailing what the first head transplant will look like, courtesy of artificial intelligence.
“The goal of our technology is to push the boundaries of what is possible in medical science and provide innovative solutions for those battling life-threatening conditions,” Hashem Al-Ghaili said.
“Our technology promises to open doors to lifesaving treatments that were unimaginable just a few years ago,” he added.
BrainBridge's digital illustration showed their new AI machine grafting a human head and placing it on the healthy new body of a brain-dead patient.
AI and molecular-level imaging would guide the surgery to make sure it was a success.
In the video, the company claimed that the head transplant would lead to smooth outcomes and faster recoveries.
The surgical robots helped reconstruct the face for full facial muscle use.
With this new procedure, the patient would be able to keep their own memories, consciousness, and cognitive abilities
Researchers believe the AI machine would be perfect for people dealing with diseases like paralysis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and more.
The company looked to AI technology in order to avoid human error.
“The process employs advanced high-speed robotic systems to prevent brain cell degradation and ensure seamless compatibility, BrainBridge said in a statement.
"I’ve had conversations with patients about doing something new or novel so I thought it was fitting that it was me this time.
“I came to this massively informed about what cancer means and what its potential consequences are but I am an optimist.
