In 2024, Elon Musk’s Neuralink made a major breakthrough with its first successful brain-computer interface implants in human patients. The company aims to revolutionize the way we interact with technology by directly linking the brain to computers.
Musk’s Vision
Musk predicts that in the next two decades, hundreds of millions of people could have Neuralink chips implanted. While some are excited by this prospect, others are skeptical about the feasibility of such widespread adoption.
Recent Success
In January 2024, Neuralink successfully implanted a device into the motor cortex of a patient, Noland Arbaugh, who had been paralyzed from the shoulders down. With the implant, Arbaugh was able to control a computer cursor and even play chess using only his thoughts—a major milestone for patients with mobility impairments.
