Neuralink is a brain implant designed to exchange information with an AI directly.
Neuralink is working to build a brain-computer interface (BCI) that lets people control a computer or mobile device wirelessly with their mind “just by thinking about it,” according to its website.
I’m always suspicious about this kind of tech. If this can be used to control other devices, how long before the interface gets good enough to read your brain or influence your actions?
Or maybe this is just to big a leap. In any event, I will not be getting a brain implant any time soon.

Brain surgery for the sake of convenience does not appeal to me. Using this technology to improve the quality life for physically impaired people, such as those with missing limbs or limited mobility could be a serious boon, however.
