AI Decodes Thoughts and Translates Them into Text

Scientists have developed a language decoder that uses brain scans and artificial intelligence to transcribe the "gist" of what people are thinking. The decoder works at the level of ideas, semantics, and meaning, and is the first system to reconstruct continuous language without an invasive brain implant. While the technology aims to help people who have lost the ability to communicate, it raises questions about mental privacy. The researchers ran tests to show that the decoder could not be used on anyone who had not allowed it to be trained on their brain activity. They also called for regulations to protect mental privacy.
