According to the BBC, Elon Musk company Neuralink has successfully implanted one of its wireless brain chips in a human for the first time. The chip is supposed to enable control of devices just by thinking. However, this is still an experimental technology and there are many challenges and risks involved.
The news article also mentions that there are other companies working on similar brain-computer interfaces, such as Blackrock Neurotech and Precision Neuroscience. Some of them claim to have less invasive methods than Neuralink. There are also scientific studies that show how implants can help people with speech impairments communicate.
It seems that we are getting closer to controlling devices with our thoughts, but it is not yet a reality for most people. It is a fascinating and controversial topic that raises many ethical and social questions. What do you think about it? 🤔
