Short answer nope, long answer why put a chip on yourself like a dog tag. Which raise data privacy concerns as they can essentially monitor 24/7. Plus there's really no long term health research on having it with you.

Where anyone can affect your thinking, track you or harm yourself in health since there's not a lot of of research on long terms health risk & maintenance of the hardware. Plus putting that aside what is the chances of anyone hacking into it to disable or make life a living hell by just introducing malware.

Of course not it short term but question is what about in long term when this technology is more advanced.

Yup the biggest shapers of technology is actually fiction, writers, movies, tv shows & songs who uses their imagination to do it. Which we draw our inspiration from, for example Star Trek's communicator device is in our hands now.

It's alright cause I would pick this over the neural link due to clear economic benefits it presents.
