He noted his goal is to create a chip that could enable a “brain-computer interface.” On Tuesday 9th, Musk and various senior staffers at Neuralink presented the company’s ambition to design a chip capable of being implanted in the human brain that could receive and transmit signals to the organ. According to Musk, the company has already had some success — with monkeys. Here is what we know thus far:
Elon Musk’s neurotechnology company, Neuralink, has pulled back the veil on its ambitions to implant chips in people’s brains.
During a Q&A session at a live presentation on Tuesday, Musk surprised his Neuralink colleagues by announcing that the firm had tested its technology on monkeys with some success.
Musk said “a monkey has been able to control a computer with its brain,” though he did not elaborate further on what this involved.
Neuralink’s president, Max Hodak, said that he wished the company didn’t have to experiment on animals but that it’s a necessary “step in the process.”
Research Internet and reputable information sources to examine the impact of this current event. Summarize your findings and write at least a one-page word document. In your report you will also need to address and respond to the following questions:
From your point do you think CBI is a natural evolution in our Digital Transformation? Why or why not?
Examine and evaluate the social impact in terms of human behavior and interactions with such technology? Try to list the pros and cons and note the winners and losers
Knowing that every technology will lead to the creation of more technology, what would envision as the most likely next technology that will come as a result of using Neuralink?

However, there are still many ethical concerns surrounding BCIs that need to be addressed before they can become widely available. The safety of these implants has yet to be fully tested while potential side effects cannot be ruled out at this stage. Moreover, if BCIs are implanted in humans without consent or proper safeguards in place it poses serious risks for people’s privacy and autonomy – especially when dealing with sensitive personal information stored inside the device. As such, further research into developing safe methods for implanting these devices should take precedence over implementing them on a wide scale basis.
In conclusion, I believe that CBI has great potential for improving our digital transformation but we must address all associated ethical issues first before moving forward with its widespread implementation.
eye to it based on faith in autonomous auditing organizations. These standards can be supplemented by both qualitative and quantitative concepts. Reworking the auditing boundaries by segregation of tasks between the insiders and the outsiders (separation of task from ownership). Also, by hindering the propagation of self-structured image of companies through networks. Internal seniors and auditing company can also define information sharing system that is more transparent for the actors analyzing the final report (sans any restriction from either institution).
Measures give structure because they force the aspects of on environment to conform to the interventions set up by the superior hierarchy in order to allow for comparison and better development of the environment overall. Industries and sectors are complex and different from one another in many ways, they are complicated and vague. Therefore, they can never capture all aspects of activities or performances that are measured. Even with the continuous evolution of standardization process, there will always be areas left uncovered or not completely standardized to enable better performance.
These changes will always be a moving target for those who invest their time in finding way to manipulate the system, and search for loopholes. Transparency is a referral more than practiced even if it is believed to lead to a stronger governance. Auditing too, will take on many forms in different sectors based on the needs for standardization for example the weight awarded to detection vs prevention. These methods will always be needed for in their absence there would be poor administration, a higher chance of deception and inefficient culture in the organization.
Not all aspects that are measured are the ones that matter as we saw in the cases described above, in a social environment, these standards cannot blindly adopt to the rules set up by the mainstream industries since they have different areas that need attention. Similarly, with the presence of individuals looking to manipulate the system, there will be aspects that even when measured do not fully ca
