The Catholic Response to Neuralink

We are not simply minds that happen to have bodies; we are integrated beings. Technologies like Neuralink, which aim to fuse the human brain with AI, could radically alter this conception of the human person.

Human beings have innate, inherent qualities that AI can never have, no matter how much data is programmed into AI.

rational thinking humans have been infused with the ability to know certain things, like right and wrong or how to act, by the author of eternal law and moral law and Divine law...etc.....
and that Author is God.

Virtue Ethics by Thomas Aquinas is a brilliant reading
