Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed an artificial intelligence system capable of interpreting and reconstructing human thoughts.a paper in Nature Neuroscience exploring using AI to non-invasively translate human thoughts into words in real time.
In conducting this experiment, the researchers had several test subjects listen to hours of podcasts while an fMRI machine non-invasively recorded their brain activity. The resulting data was then used to train the system on a specific user’s thought patterns. The system only functions if it’s trained on a specific user’s brainwaves. This makes it useless for scanning individuals who haven’t spent hours providing fMRI data. And even if such data was generated without a user’s permission, the team ultimately concludes that both the decoding of the data and the machine’s ability to monitor thoughts in real time require active participation on the part of the person being scanned.
And the Saudi Arabian team’s cancer research was conducted using AI that was trained on Nvidia GTX 1080s, GPUs that have been available since 2016.
