AI Translates Silent Thoughts into Written Words

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed an artificial intelligence system called the semantic decoder that can translate a person's brain activity into a continuous stream of text. The system uses fMRI scanner data and could revolutionize communication for people unable to speak due to conditions like stroke. The system is non-invasive and does not require surgical implants. While not perfect, the AI system successfully captures the essence of a person's thoughts half of the time.
