Mind Meld: The Ethics and Potential of Neuralink

Neuralink is a futuristic technology that could connect our brains directly to computers. Imagine being able to control a video game or send a message just by thinking! Neuralink could help people who are paralyzed or suffering from diseases like Alzheimer’s. It might even let us boost our memory or learn new things faster by connecting our minds to the Internet. But with great power comes great responsibility—there are big questions about privacy, safety, and how far we should go in changing what it means to be human.

Your Task:
You’ve just been invited to join an elite ethics team that’s setting the rules for how Neuralink can be used. Your mission? Create a set of guidelines that explain how this brain tech should help people without causing harm. Should everyone be able to use it, or only certain people? How do we protect people’s thoughts from being hacked? Think about how this technology could make life better, but also what dangers we need to avoid. You can write a list of rules or design a cool poster showing your ideas—be as creative as you want!
