Brain-Computer Interfaces: Ushering in a New Era of Human 'Superpowers'?
The rapid development of brain-computer interface technology is reshaping human lives, not only helping patients with speech disorders regain their communication abilities and allowing paralyzed individuals to walk again, but also potentially granting humanity 'superpowers'. Elon Musk's Neuralink company has enabled direct interaction with the digital world by implanting chips in paralyzed patients, allowing them to control devices with their thoughts, bringing unprecedented convenience and possibilities to life. This technology is not limited to assistive functions; it has also sparked discussions about enhancing human capabilities in the future, including the possibility of competing with superintelligent AI.
