Elon Musks company, Neuralink, announced a key milestone in its clinical trials on August 4, 2025. According to Reuters, the first paralyzed patients implanted with the chip have successfully demonstrated the ability to control digital devices directly with the power of their thoughts. Trial participants were able to move a computer cursor and type text, which represents a huge breakthrough for brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. This opens up unprecedented possibilities for the rehabilitation of people with severe motor disabilities. At the same time, this success elevates the ethical debate about the future merger of humans and artificial intelligence, raising questions about the boundaries of human nature and the safety of neurotechnology.
