Technology billionaire Elon Musk has claimed his Neuralink company has successfully implanted one of its wireless brain chips in a human. The company’s goal is to connect human brains to computers to help tackle complex neurological conditions. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, he said “promising” brain activity had been detected after the procedure and the patient was “recovering well”. Among the other companies to make similar advances in the field is the École Polytechnique Fédérale in Lausanne (EPFL), in Switzerland, which has successfully enabled a paralysed man to walk just by thinking. Do you think that this is the stage in life where humans will be controlled like electronics ?
