A new AI system’ can translate a person’s brain activity into text. Although it is not a word-for-word transcript, researchers at the University of Texas designed it to capture the gist of what is being thought, albeit imperfectly. Researchers warn that their ‘semantic decoder’ could be used for bad purposes, but also say it might help people who are mentally conscious yet unable to physically speak, such as those debilitated by strokes, to communicate intelligibly again.
Yea no fault on you, just journalism doing its thing - they ultimately need to drive clicks and are less likely to fully understand the scope and implications of a device like this.
