Description

Brain implants may be closer than you think -- and their potential goes far beyond medicine.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) examined how these technologies could evolve over the next decade, including their potential to enhance human capabilities, improve learning, and change how people interact with technology.

But as development accelerates, big questions remain:
Who gets access? What's acceptable? And how could this reshape society?

These issues are explored further in GAO's report, On the Horizon: Three Science and Technology Trends that Could Affect Society.
