We’re racing towards a future in which devices will be able to read our thoughts. That’s significantly higher than random chance, which would be around one percent, and impressive in the context of essentially divining coherent thoughts out of brain patterns. The researchers aren’t the only ones to claim they’ve developed a technique for scanning thoughts. Or they used AI models to directly form the sentences, blurring the lines between what the person’s actual thoughts were and what was AI-generated. Meta, for example, created a device that lets you type text with your brain by combining a deep learning AI model with a magnetoencephalography scanner.
