Elon Musk's Neuralink plans a brain speech trial in October

Elon Musk's Neuralink plans to begin a clinical trial in the US in October, using its brain implant to translate thoughts into text. The study aims to help people with speech impairments communicate through thought. Neuralink already has five other ongoing trials in the US, Canada, the UK, and the United Arab Emirates. The company's president, DJ Seo, hinted at Neuralink's long-term plans, including the possibility of healthy individuals getting the implant to communicate with AI models at the speed of thought. However, the article expresses concerns about the potential dangers of consumer brain implants, drawing parallels to dystopian sci-fi narratives and Musk's controversial political views. The article emphasizes the need to balance the technology's potential to help those in need with the risks of it "devouring humanity."
