Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implant to ultimately help humans merge with AI is sparking debate over safety and ethics

Elon Musk's company Neuralink has received FDA approval to begin human trials for its brain chip implant. The initial focus is to help patients with neurological conditions, such as paralysis and blindness, regain control over devices using their thoughts. However, Musk's long-term ambition is to achieve "symbiosis" between humans and artificial intelligence. Neuralink aims to improve human-to-AI communication and potentially enable functions like enhanced memory. The company has faced ethical scrutiny and criticism for missed projections and animal testing practices. Despite concerns, enthusiasts see the technology as a groundbreaking step toward merging humans with technology.
