ALS patient regains speech using Neuralink brain implant

An ALS patient, Kenneth Shock, has regained the ability to communicate using Neuralink's brain implant. The device decodes neural signals into phonemes and words, restoring speech-like output. Highlighted by Elon Musk, the breakthrough marks progress in brain-computer interfaces, though the technology remains in clinical trials with ongoing concerns around safety, regulation, and data privacy.
