New AI Technology can lead to privacy invasion of human minds - Cybersecurity Insiders

Scientists from the University of Texas have developed a new AI model that can scan brains and read minds. It was developed with a hardship of over 7-years with an aim to help read the minds of people who cannot speak. The technology behind this new mode of communication decoding is called Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) that conceptualizes arbitrary stimuli that a person's brain is grasping or analyzing as a natural language in real-time. In simple terms, scientists can scan three parts of the brain and feed that data scan to ML algorithms to analyze the natural language circulating in a person's mind. This can be achieved with the help of electrodes that are planted on the forehead or the shaved head of a person to read a subject's thoughts.
