Commercial Brain-Computer Interface by 2030
Brain-computer interfaces are advancing rapidly in research labs. Early medical applications, like controlling prosthetics, show feasibility. Extending this to commercial consumer devices is far more challenging.
Risks include safety, privacy, and regulatory hurdles. Mass adoption requires usability, affordability, and ethical safeguards to prevent misuse.
My prediction: By 2030, tech companies may launch niche commercial BCIs for medical or specialized uses, but widespread consumer adoption is unlikely due to technological and regulatory constraints.
