To rival this new step in technology, China set a timeline to develop its own “brain-computer interface” on Monday with products arriving as early as 2025. The ministry notes brain technology could be used in driverless driving, virtual reality, and medical rehabilitation. The lab is primarily focused on turning its research into practical applications that could compete with Musk’s Neuralink, according to the South China Morning Post. Neuralink asked people with paralysis, deafness, or vision loss to be the first to participate in its study on brain chip implants. It’s nice to know that some of the most trusted names in tech, Elon Musk and China, are pioneering the latest terrifying wave of technology.
