China beats Neuralink in launching what Elon Musk called ‘Jesus-level technologies’

China has approved the world’s first commercial brain-computer chip, NEO, ahead of Elon Musk’s Neuralink. This coin-sized device, designed for spinal cord injury and paralysis patients, uses a less invasive approach. NEO has cleared clinical trials and is entering mass production, marking a significant step in brain-computer interface commercialization.
