Alexander Panov, CEO @ Neiry Ltd.:

"Why are we doing all this in Neiry? The application of neurointerfaces, like those of Pythia, will unlock vast opportunities across numerous industries.

There will be a dramatic increase in efficiency in all current industrial uses of animals, primarily dogs (search dogs, guide dogs, rescue dogs, mine-sniffing dogs, etc.). Animals will be able to understand a significantly larger number of commands and execute them with greater precision. They will also be able to "speak" in response.

Self-sustaining livestock farms, where, for example, cows roam through the increasingly warming Siberian landscapes. Herds can be managed remotely, including activating a "Defense mode" against predators.

New ways to utilize animals – from the mundane use of rats for search and rescue during disasters to employing primates with neurointerfaces as workers, for example, in Amazon warehouses. Theoretically, worker gorillas could carry massive loads, while chimpanzees could assemble boxes for shipping. Payment in carrots is suitable.

Conversely, adding a biological brain to a fully mechanical robot. By the way, the Chinese have already conducted initial experiments.

Creating biological processors that operate on new principles, which could compete with Nvidia, including for mining.

I must mention that all experiments are conducted in accordance with the principles established by Ethics Committee."
