This podcast episode explores the advancements in brain-computer interfaces and the development of robots with artificial brains. Scientists are growing brain-like organoids from human stem cells and connecting them to computer chips, enabling them to function like human brains and interact with external devices. Elon Musk's company Neuralink has successfully implanted their N1 chip into a human, while Chinese scientists have created a robot controlled by an artificial brain grown from human stem cells. These advancements raise both excitement and concerns, as they push the boundaries of merging minds with machines and raise ethical considerations.
