Is the Elon Musk brain chip a risk or an opportunity?
We hear about the benefits the Neuralink brain chip could bring but also the concerns about safety and regulation.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has claimed his Neuralink company has successfully implanted one of its wireless brain chips in a human. What are the regulations governing this type of experimentation?
Also in the programme: Israeli forces have killed three members of Palestinian armed groups in a hospital in the occupied West Bank; and we hear from a tech worker who filmed her viral layoff moment as US tech companies continue to cut jobs on a mass scale.
