Samsung Electronics secured its first order from Neuralink Corp. Neuralink is the brain technology startup owned by Elon Musk. Samsung will develop next-generation chips for brain-computer interfaces.
This deal expands Samsung’s existing collaboration with Musk’s ventures. Samsung already produces autonomous driving chips for Tesla Inc. under a major contract.
The partnership positions Samsung’s semiconductor foundry business at the forefront of the high-growth brain-interface industry. The companies did not disclose financial specifics of the arrangement.
