The global contest for control over advanced computer chips is escalating, with an emphasis on the emergent neurochip technology. It highlights the growing geopolitical implications of chip technology, drawing from recent events, such as Warren Buffet’s divestment and the US Government’s push for domestic chip production. Crucially, there is recognition of the enormous potential of neurochips as integral components of future human-computer interactions, ushering in an era of instant thought-based communication, research, and other revolutionary capabilities.
