While the first line relates this to helping people speak, my mind immediately went to things like reading minds for secret information, whether that be for good or bad. It could be abused for top secret information or it could be used to determine if someone committed a crime. Sure, that's probably a few steps down the road, but eventually, the technology will exist. As with everything else, it's all in how it'll be used.If this is true I’m sure there’s no way this technology will be abused by anyone
===========================
Scientists have developed a new artificial intelligence model that can read brain activityscans to read people’s minds – an advance that may help those unable to speak after a stroke.
Researchers, including those from The University of Texas at Austin in the US, say the new AI model is a “real leap forward” compared to what has been achieved before in helping those who are mentally conscious yet unable to physically speak.
In the latest study, published in the journal Nature Neuroscience on Monday, scientists found an AI system called a semantic decoder can translate a person’s brain activity as they listened to a story, or imagined telling a story, into text.
The new tool relies partly on models similar to the ones that power the now-famous AI chatbots – OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard – to convey “the gist” of people’s thoughts from analysing their brain activity.
But unlike many previous such attempts to read people’s minds, scientists said the system does not require subjects to have surgical implants, making the process noninvasive……..
