Elon Musk's startup Neuralink said on Thursday that it has got an approval from the US Food and Administration to test its brain implants in people. The decision comes after the company's application was rejected in early 2022, despite Musk's multiple predictions that his brain-chip business will soon receive FDA approval for human trials. The company worked through the agency's concerns over the safety of the experimental implant.

A bold vision by tech entrepreneur Elon Musk to mesh human brains with artificial intelligence remains more science fiction than reality.
