Tech billionaire Elon Musk became the first person to implant a Neuralink chip in the brain of 29-year-old Noland Arbaugh in January.

Due to a spinal cord injury, Arbaugh was left paralyzed. However, with the help of the implant, Arbaugh regained control and can now interact with the digital world using his thoughts. He can play online games such as chess through brain signals. With such innovations. Business Today reported.

With his chips, Musk hopes to build a link between the human brain and computers.

This does not, however, imply that the chips are impervious to hacking.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink Chips can be Hacked

In a podcast with Joe Rogan, Arbaugh stated, “Hacking the brain chip wouldn’t do anything at this point, at least. In addition to controlling my mouse on my screen and directing my gaze to strange objects, you may be able to view some of the brain signals and data that Neuralink is gathering. That’s all, though. You could probably log in and read through my emails, texts, and other content.

Arbaugh is less concerned with the potential hazards and more focused on the revolutionary potential of Neuralink, despite the possibility of abuse of hacking.
