Scientists have created an artificial intelligence that is able to translate thoughts into texts
2 min readCan you imagine if it was possible to convert your thoughts into scripts? Because this possibility is no longer only in your imagination, but in real life.
Recently, a group of scientists from the University of Texas developed an artificial intelligence capable of decoding thoughts and converting them into coherent texts. The project was so successful that the research ended up being published in the prestigious scientific journal Natural neuroscience.
Presenting the project in the journal, the scientists responded that this technology could represent a great opportunity for people who cannot communicate verbally, such as those who suffer from some form of paralysis.
Now, imagine being able to communicate with the world using only your thoughts, without the need for the physical ability to speak or write. Surreal, isn’t it?
This technological advance could be a milestone in the history of human communication and offer new perspectives for people with physical limitations.
This new project was called semantic decoding. Moreover, in its composition, according to CNBCThere is a kind of adapter, which is the equipment that can usually be found in artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT, created by OpenAI.
Innovation without surgery
The good news does not stop there, because the best thing about all this technology is that there is no need to perform any surgical procedure to use these resources i.e. one will just have to learn and practice to use the resource.
But, after all, what was the process of experimentation like, the one that was needed to practice using the decoder, and how was it done? It seems that training only required a few listens Podcasts.
Yes, and after the whole procedure is over, a person can practice creating scripts from the moment he heard the conversation or start developing a new narrative in his mind.
Not everything is flowers…
However, it should be noted that this artificial intelligence still has some problems, such as not understanding one’s thoughts correctly.
An example of this is when the phrase “I still don’t have my driver’s license” was said, but what the intelligence understood and translated was “You haven’t even started learning to drive yet”.
