Don't worry, we and our children and grandchildren will be long dead before the first general AI and/or brain-computer interface (at the level of thought, not motor control) ever happen.
I feel people are vastly under-estimating just how complex general intelligence is. Even simplistic intelligence like what you find in a worm is far beyond us, not to mention insects. Thinking that we could decode human thought out of electrical signals in the brain at this stage of our understanding is like the ancient Greeks thinking they could build a rocket to the moon.
