Science Corp founder Max Hodak discusses how brain-computer interfaces are arriving faster than anyone realizes. The Neuralink co-founder and former president shares how his company achieved what may be the biggest breakthrough in vision restoration in decades, enabling 80% of blind patients to read again with a tiny retinal implant smaller than a grain of rice. In this conversation, he explores the near-term commercial path for BCIs through medical applications, the long-term potential for cognitive enhancement and “binding” multiple brains together, and why the industry needs to hit $100 million in revenue to avoid an AI winter-style collapse. He also addresses the practical and ethical questions around hacking, enhancement, and whether he’d implant his own future

Recorded at a Playground #sponsored StrictlyVC Palo Alto, this conversation explores the bleeding edge of neurotechnology and Hodak’s vision for a dramatically different 2035.

The Invisible Threat Taking Away Our Brightest Minds | Drew McCartor | TED

Lead poisoning robs the world’s kids of millions of IQ points a day and kills more people than wars, natural disasters and road accidents combined — yet we treat it as a problem we’ve already solved. Drew McCartor, who runs the nonprofit Pure Earth, has spent nearly two decades proving it doesn’t have to be this way. He presents their three-step fix that’s already working in places from Georgia to Ghana, and makes the case that we can finally beat a crisis hiding in plain sight. (This ambitious idea is part of The Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.) (Recorded at TED2026 on April 14, 2026)
