According to this article, "Elon Musk's brain chip firm Neuralink has received the US regulatory green light for its first human clinical trial, after earlier controversies." The technology has been tested on animals but there haven't been human trials yet. "It is trying to create a new way to allow computers to communicate directly with the human brain... to tackle complex neurological conditions which have so far proved beyond the capability of medical intervention. These range from paralysis and blindness to depression and schizophrenia." I have nothing against brain chip implants, but the potential for abuse makes me worry a lot about the executive leadership of this particular venture.
