Brain implant user, South Korea's AI focus

A man with ALS is pioneering brain-computer interface technology, becoming the first 'power user' capable of independent communication and web navigation. Meanwhile, South Korea exhibits a strong national optimism towards artificial intelligence, contrasting with global concerns, viewing AI as crucial for modernization and global competitiveness. This enthusiasm is driving significant investment and development within the country. Additionally, the US has restricted access to Anthropic AI due to foreign intelligence risks, while China's DeepSeek has secured substantial funding, highlighting the intense global competition and varying approaches to AI development and regulation.
