Kyle from Wisedom predicts tens of thousands of people will have neural implants by 2030, starting with medical uses like restoring movement for paralyzed patients. Then healthy people will use them to enhance cognition and communicate telepathically, with software that lets you instantly download languages, skills, and knowledge.

I think in the next 5 years, by close to 2030, we're gonna see tens of thousands of people with literal chips in their brains. Now, it might be a chip, it might be a diode, but either way, what you're going to see are implants into the brain. And I think that this solves for so many debilitating conditions. You see many physical ailments like loss of limbs, like all kinds of motor control issues due to disconnects in the brainstem or paralysis. These types of individuals I think we'll see such a significant and drastic improvement to their physical ailments. Soon enough, we're going to see it in healthy individuals as well, looking to optimize and implement new technologies to control their surroundings, to communicate nonverbally, telepathically with the rest of the world. And I also think there is a huge opportunity to build operating systems and software for this particular hardware. For the first time ever, you could download a language pack and immediately sync that into your brain to start learning French that you may have never talked it yourself. Or maybe it's an instrument, maybe it's creativity or an academic skill. In 5 years, you are going to see the advent of these new technologies downloading information at a rate you've never been able to capture before.
