Society is more likely to get "cat-level" or "dog-level" AI years before human-level AI.

"[W]e will eventually reach AGI... and quite possibly before the end of this century."

"Superhuman AIs" will be achieved "between a few years and a couple of decades."

"Digital intelligence" could overtake us within "5 to 20 years."

"[W]e could get to real AGI in the next decade."

"Human-level" AI could occur in "two or three years."

"I'd be surprised if we don't have AGI by [2029]."

Will AI Surpass Human Intelligence, and When?

Rocky Stoutenburgh, who has been paralyzed from the neck down since 2006, demonstrated the ability to move a robotic arm to his mouth using only his thoughts through a Neuralink brain chip implant, while Nick Wray, who has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, used the technology to pick up a cup and drink from it.

As of September 2025, 12 people around the world have received Neuralink implants, collectively accumulating over 15,000 hours of use across 2,000 days, with the first participant being a man paralyzed after a spinal cord injury who used the device to play video games and chess.

Neuralink announced that participants in its clinical trials have extended digital computer control to physical devices such as assistive robotic arms, with plans to expand the range of devices controllable via the brain computer interface over time.

More than 10,000 people have signed up for Neuralink's Patient Registry hoping to participate in trials, with clinical trials currently open only to people living with paralysis conditions like spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The Neuralink device, known as the N1 chip or Link, is roughly the size of a 10 pence coin and operates through 128 ultra fine threads that connect about 1,000 electrodes directly to the brain's surface to detect and transmit neural activity into digital commands.

Neuralink received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA to help restore communication for individuals with severe speech impairment and also received the designation for Blindsight, according to company announcements in 2024 and 2025.
