Elon Musk announced that the first human patient has received a brain implant from his company Neuralink, which aims to achieve a symbiosis with artificial intelligence. The implant is designed to allow paralyzed individuals to control a cursor or keyboard with their brains. The company is recruiting participants with quadriplegia for a six-year clinical trial, and the initial results show promising neuron spike detection. However, Neuralink has faced controversy over its treatment of research animals and is competing with other companies in commercializing brain-computer interface systems.
