OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has confirmed plans to support Merge Labs, a brain-computer interface (BCI) startup valued at $850 million, positioning it as a competitor to Elon Musk's Neuralink. The venture, still in early fundraising stages, aims to explore neural interfaces that could enable direct brain-to-AI communication.

Altman envisions a future where ChatGPT responds to unspoken thoughts, signaling OpenAI's ambition to expand beyond traditional AI platforms. The company is actively pursuing hardware development and strategic acquisitions to advance this vision.
