Artificial Intelligence is crossing every limit, it has started to read the mind
The development of the Artificial Intelligence sector, which is being translated in recent months into ever closer programs for the public, is the greatest technological innovation of the last decades.
We are not talking only about ChatGPT, the genius software that you can ask for any information, but about dozens of its clones that are specializing in more specific areas, from translating words to images, or tables.
But the research in this field seems really limitless, and it is going in a direction that is really reminiscent of some detailed scenarios in dystopian novels and films.
The latest case comes from the University of Osaka, in Japan, where researchers researching artificial intelligence are developing an algorithm that will most likely be able to read people’s minds.
In the conducted experiments, volunteer participants, after seeing different images, agree to undergo some magnetic resonance imaging. These scanned images are sent to artificial intelligence software, whose algorithm analyzes the data and translates it into real images.
The program is still in the phase of hypothesizing what each person’s brain thinks, but according to the researchers the answers were correct about 80% of the time, although there is still a lot of work to be done.
The study is a big step in the possible developments of Artificial Intelligence, but without the problems of one of Elon Musk’s major projects, Neuralink, which still meant a surgical intervention.
The time when we can create works of art from just a thought seems close, but perhaps not far seems the moment when our most secret thoughts will no longer have any privacy.
