Scientists at the University of Texas in Austin have trained artificial intelligence (AI) to read a person's mind and turn their innermost thoughts into text.
Three study participants listened to stories while lying in an MRI machine, while an AI 'decoder' analysed their brain activity.
They were then asked to make up their own story, and the decoder could then turn the MRI data into text in real time!
Meanwhile one of the world’s foremost architects of artificial intelligence Geoffrey Hinton known as the “Godfather of AI” recently quit his job at Google to warn the world about the potential dangers of AI while suggesting it could someday take over the world and push humanity toward extinction.
In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth looks at the latest developments (that we’re aware of) in AI and where all this could soon be heading in the not so distant future!
