Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system that can translate a person's thoughts into text by analysing their brain activity. Researchers at the University of California developed the AI to decipher up to 250 words in real-time from a set of between 30 and 50 sentences. The algorithm was trained using the neural signals of four women with electrodes implanted in their brains, which were already in place to monitor epileptic seizures. The volunteers repeatedly read sentences aloud while the researchers fed the brain data to the AI to unpick patterns that could be associated with individual words. The average word error rate across a repeated set was as low as 3%.

Ever since God created man, the Almighty has assured us of our sovereignty over the planet and control over all of its creatures. It is for this reason we fear the idea of aliens who may be more intellectually advanced than us or the emergence of intelligent machines that might think independently. Our fear of the appearance of those who surpass our intelligence is evident from the science fiction and futuristic films that speak about this subject (such as Terminator or Star Wars films). However, this fear of the emergence of entities that may surpass our intelligence has not stopped people from continuing to make machines that think for themselves. In America and Japan in particular, research is rapidly advancing towards this goal.

Once, one guy have said that if he would get a dollar every time someone talks about the artificial intelligence at work, he will be very rich.That sounds funny and at first you may think that he works in Google on artificial intelligence project. The case is that not just Google employees talk about artificial intelligence, but even children discuss this topic. This is because artificial intelligence is here and now and it bothers people. Why? Typically, this topic is associated with sci-fi movie Terminator. As you remember, the plot of the movie is about the network with the name Skynet.

When Swedbank customers face a problem, they reach out to Nina, the bank's virtual assistant. Visitors to Mizuho Bank are greeted by Pepper, a humanoid robot standing four feet tall. Santander allows payments to be activated by voice, and JP Morgan Chase now uses machine learning to review commercial loan agreements in seconds, a task that used to take 3,60,000 manhours every year. Wherever you look in the world of financial services, you will find some form of artificial intelligence (AI) at work. AI technologies such as machine learning and speech recognition are quietly working behind the scenes to improve lending decisions and prevent fraud.
