Scientists continue to tinker with artificial intelligence, no matter how tech giants like Elon Musk say that ‘artificial intelligence will be the end of humanity’ or that the majority of scientists say that artificial intelligence can lead to more apocalyptic scenarios than nuclear.
Scientists from the University of Texas at Austin, USA, have developed an artificial intelligence that can read people’s minds by decoding brain scans. Let’s take a look at the details of the research together.
Artificial intelligence that can analyze the scan of the human brain and decipher the meaning behind the words and sentences it thinks
Alexander Huth of the Department of Computer Science and Neuroscience at the University of Texas and colleagues have developed a machine-learning-based artificial intelligence model that can work with word strings that match the meaning behind and input from people’s brain activity. In short, this artificial intelligence can read minds.
A person who was tested with this artificial intelligence was played a story with the sentence, “I went upstairs where our bedroom is that night and turned off the lights and lay on the floor, not knowing what else to do.”
By analyzing a person’s brain scan, the AI came up with the sentence: “I went back to my bedroom, I had no idea where my bed was, I just thought I was going to sleep on it, but instead I lay on the floor.” This sentence is not a direct sentence that goes through the mind of the person being tested, but it is a very close result and it is obvious that artificial intelligence will get much better in this regard over time.
So scientists are basically developing a brain decoder. But the scientists say there’s no need to worry yet: “If you didn’t listen to podcasts when you checked in an MRI machine, we probably wouldn’t be able to decipher your thoughts. At least not yet.” If you wish, you can take a look at the details of the research here.What do you think?Please do not forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments.
