Elon Musk's Neuralink Chip to Begin Human Testing in 2023
Elon Musk's Neuralink company is planning to begin human testing of its brain-computer interface (BCI) chip in 2023. The chip, which is about the size of a coin, is designed to be implanted in the brain and allow people to control computers and other devices with their thoughts.
Neuralink has already conducted animal trials of the chip, and the company says that it is safe and effective. In the human trials, Neuralink will implant the chip in a small number of people with severe neurological disorders, such as paralysis or blindness.
If the human trials are successful, Neuralink could eventually make the chip available to a wider range of people. The company believes that the chip could have a number of potential applications, including improving memory, learning, and creativity.
However, there are also some concerns about the safety and ethics of Neuralink's chip. Some people worry that the chip could be used to control people's thoughts or to create a "cyborg" race.
