Brain chips on the way?

Share to Google Classroom

Elon Musk’s company, Neuralink, just got approval from the FDA to test brain chips on humans. Yes, you heard it right, brain chips!

Neuralink wants to connect our brains with computers to help restore vision and movement. Imagine controlling things with your thoughts!

Although they’re not recruiting participants yet, this approval is a big step forward.

These tiny chips, already tested on monkeys, can interpret our brain signals and send them to devices through Bluetooth.

Neuralink’s goal is to help people with paralysis and blindness, and even make it easier for those with disabilities to use technology.

Elon Musk believes brain chips could also help us with AI concerns.

The journey won’t be easy. Experts say they need lots of testing and careful consideration. Safety and reliability are essential.

But just imagine a future where our thoughts can do incredible things. The possibilities are endless!
