5. Brain-Computer Interfaces Leverage AI for Communication
AI powers the latest brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), translating neural signals into words, actions, or even typing. These advances enable paralyzed individuals to communicate by thought alone, as seen in recent successful BCI demonstrations. For example, a 64-year-old man with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) uses a brain implant to control Amazon Alexa with his mind, allowing him to perform tasks like turning lights on and off, making video calls, and shopping online. This technology offers a new avenue for independence and communication for those with limited mobility. (wired.com)
