You don't need to do an animal study to unit test your gpu code. And yes, I also work on surgical robotics where we have the latest gpu hardware to do the latest "AI" and again, we don't need to do animal studies to test that code. You do animal studies even everything is seemingly perfect on the bench. I've worked for 10+ companies that have been acquired snd killed by the Medteonics and J&Js of the world. That's the rule, not the exception. They should start with a simpler device, get it on market, then go for the crazy stuff. Prediction from someone who has worked on this stuff for 20 years - Neuralink will never have a on market device.
