The Elon Musk-founded company, Neuralink, has been working for about 4 years on an artificial-intelligence-enabled microchip that would be implanted directly into the brain to monitor and stimulate brain activity. Though many people are skeptical of how safe it really is.

Musk hopes to begin testing the device on humans within the next year.
