Mind Reading Artificial Intelligence System

Turning Brain Activity to Text

97% Accuracy Rate

Researchers at the University of California

San Francisco have created a new artificial

intelligence system that literally reads the

mind with 97% accuracy.  The AI translates

brain activity into complete sentences.  This

is a huge breakthrough in innovation.  Nothing

has come close to this AI system.  Previous

systems attempting to "read your mind" were

only 70% intelligible.  

Machine Translation

The researchers developed their system

by mimicking machine translation.  They

realized there are strong parallels between

translating brain signals to text and machine

translations between languages using neural

networks. Machine translation does an entire

sentence at once.  They designed their  new 

AI system to convert brain activity into

full sentences.  In fact, it can translate from

human brain waves 30 to 50 sentences that

use basic vocabulary words.

Many Potential Uses

The scientists believe this approach could be

invaluable for people who can't speak. Their

thoughts could be converted to text.  In the 

future we may be able to type a document by

simply thinking.  The scientists envision the

eventual telepathic control of our devices by 

our thoughts.

Under Development

This new AI system needs continued development 

before we're able to control devices by just thinking.

The volunteers involved in developing the 

first system had electrodes in their brains. That

allowed the AI system to build correlations

between brain activity and sentences.  To enable

widespread use, a non-implant brain-machine AI

system would be ideal.
