"Public Opinion and Ethical Concerns Surrounding Neuralink's Brain Chip Implant Technology"

TL;DR
A recent poll by YouGov indicates that only 8% of Americans would consider getting a computer chip implanted in their brain if the technology moved past the experimental stage and became commercially available, with 82% of respondents probably or definitely not interested. Men were more likely than women, and Democrats and Independents more likely than Republicans, to consider such a piece of tech. However, science fiction readers showed more interest, with 19% of those who had read Dune expressing willingness to get a commercially available brain chip.
