Are we ready for brain-computer implants?

About this episode

The world of brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, is here. Implanted into the brain, BCIs can pick up neural signals for all kinds of use cases – turning thoughts into words without speaking or typing, or even sharing thoughts with third parties before they’re spoken. AI makes this tech much more powerful, processing and interpreting brain data at unprecedented speeds. Live from Masters of Scale Summit in San Francisco, host Rana el Kaliouby explores the extreme promise and privacy concerns of BCIs with two leading experts: Matt Angle, CEO of the BCI developer Paradromics, and Nita Farahany, professor of law and philosophy at Duke and author of The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology.
