The federal program for brain chipping in Russia is not being developed, writes TASS, referring to the press service of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
Thus, the agency refuted the information published by the publication “Kommersant”. The newspaper article said that a corresponding program is being developed, which is called “Brain, Health, Intelligence, Innovation”, and its funding is 54 billion rubles until 2029.
According to the publication, the program, among other things, provides for the implantation of chips in the human brain.
“The specified program has no funding. At the end of last year, a decision was made at the government level on the inexpediency of its development, ” the ministry said.
Earlier today, the news about “chipping” in Russia was commented on by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.
