Brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink concentrate mental control in corporate hands. Decentralized science offers shared governance over neural data. Opinion by: Andreas Melhede, co-founder of Elata Biosciences Neuralink’s first-ever brain implant is turning science fiction into reality. It’s a coin-sized device with hair-thin electrode threads that a surgical robot weaves into the brain’s cortex to read and send neuron signals. These signals are then transmitted wirelessly to a computer, allowing the person wearing the implant to perform actions without needing to move. Elon Musk, Neuralink’s founder, once highlighted that the company will “give people superpowers.” Silicon Valley’s vision of a direct brain-computer interface (BCI) sounds exciting. Designed to help people with severe paralysis, Neuralink’s implant allows people to move a cursor, type, or even control a robotic limb using their thoughts alone. Read more

AI compute remains centralized in developed nations. Decentralized blockchain networks can unlock idle GPUs to democratize access. Opinion by: Gaurav Sharma, CEO of io.net  Artificial intelligence may be in its early days, but it has already delivered significant scientific and technological breakthroughs across the developed world. Unfortunately, these developments have come at a cost: the dangerous centralization of AI. On Forbes’ 2025 list of the top 50 private AI companies, all are based in the developed world, with 80% in the US.  Read more

Decentralized digital communities can democratize AI governance through transparent, community-led frameworks that prioritize public good over profit. Opinion by: Jarrad Hope, co-founder of Logos As AI rapidly scales, humans are left at an ideological impasse on managing this new technology. Either choose to allow governments and companies to dominate how AI is trained and used to create policies that control our lives, or call for new governance models built with a foundation grounded in transparency, regeneration and public good.  Network states, digital communities leveraging blockchain to form borderless societies, present a significantly improved approach to harmonizing AI with human well-being. With technology continually advancing the scope of digital augmentation, it’s essential to establish a new category of AI development administration focused on serving people, not power. Read more
