A new AI tool can guess what you're looking at just by analyzing your brain scans--and recreate that image with remarkable precision. It can go the other way too, and predict a person's brain activity based on what they're looking at. In the image above, for example, the left-hand image of each pair is what the user actually saw--and its right-hand counterpart is what the model recreated based on the brain scan. Michal Irani, who developed the tool with her colleagues at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, hopes her "mindreading" tool will ultimately reveal more about how the brain works, and could perhaps be used to help locked-in people communicate, or allow scientists to recreate the content of dreams. Judy Illes, a neuroethicist and professor of neurology at the University of British Columbia in Canada, who was not involved in the research, describes the work as "magnificent." "The idea [of using this approach] to help people with neurologic conditions therapeutically is tremendously exciting," she says. But other scientists warn that a similar approach could be used to reveal the inner thoughts and mental imagery of people, potentially without their consent. "The results seem very impressive," says Tommy Sprague, a neuroscientist at the University of California Santa Barbara. "But if there's a way to surreptitiously extract information about what you're thinking about, then 150 years of sci-fi can come true anytime, and that's worrisome in a lot of ways."

US transportation regulator NTSB pulled its accident reports after the audio recreations were uploaded online. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has pulled its docket system offline after people used information uploaded to it to recreate the voices of pilots killed in a plane crash with AI. As CNN reports, the agency recently uploaded files filled with details about the November 4, 2025 crash involving UPS flight 2976. One of the plane's engines separated from the wing during takeoff from Louisville, Kentucky, killing three crew members and 12 people on the ground. While the NTSB uploads accident reports that the public can access, it is not allowed by federal law to release cockpit audio recordings due to the highly sensitive nature of verbal communications inside the cockpit.

The Spectrum faithfully recreates the 80s original with its rubber keys and classic games, delighting older gamers, while younger players may face a steep learning curve due to tricky controls and tough gameplay. However, modern features like save and rewind help mitigate that frustration. It was made with as few components as possible and connected easily to the TV. Programs ran from compact cassettes, some of you may remember listening to music from these before the advent of CDs. It was possible to program in Basic and play some games. The ZX Spectrum's competitor was the Commodore 64, a popular machine that Retro Games had already recreated.

AI Expert Marva Bailer explains to Fox News Digital Hank Azaria's opinion piece about humanity and AI matters. "The Simpsons" star Hank Azaria has voiced his fears over artificial intelligence in a new opinion piece. The actor, who has been with the show since 1989, wrote an opinion essay for The New York Times, worrying AI "will be able to recreate the sounds of the more than 100 voices I created for characters on'The Simpsons.'" He continued, "It makes me sad to think about it. Not to mention, it seems just plain wrong to steal my likeness or sound -- or anyone else's."

An artist has created a'very realistic' image of the Virgin Mary using AI, showing her as a teenage girl with long black hair, dark eyes and a darker complexion. Miguel Ángel Omaña Rojas, from Mexico, reconstructed the face of the Virgin of Guadalupe as she appeared on a cloth worn by St Juan in Mexico more than 700 years ago. The technology spent weeks analyzing the image of Mary, studying each component' to'capture gestures and expressions in a dynamic way.' The image of the Virgin Mary, they said, allows the world'to finally see what the most famous woman... looked like in real life.' While Mary was believed to be Middle Eastern, cultures have changed her appearance to fit their local populations, such as why the Virgin of Guadalupe is portrayed with a combination of Indigenous and European heritage.

The night after their son Mats died aged just 25, Trude and Robert Steen sat on the sofa in their living room in Oslo with their daughter Mia. "Everything was a blur," remembers Trude of that day 10 years ago. "Then Robert said, 'Maybe we should reach out to Mats' friends in World of Warcraft.'" Mats was born with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a progressive condition that causes the muscles to weaken gradually. He was diagnosed aged four and started using a wheelchair at 10.

The parents of a teenager who was killed in Florida's Parkland school shooting in 2018 have started a bold new project called The Shotline to lobby for stricter gun laws in the country. The Shotline uses AI to recreate the voices of children killed by gun violence and send recordings through automated calls to lawmakers, The Wall Street Journal reported. The project launched on Wednesday, six years after a gunman killed 17 people and injured more than a dozen at a high school in Parkland, Florida. It features the voice of six children, some as young as ten, and young adults, who have lost their lives in incidents of gun violence across the US. Once you type in your zip code, The Shotline finds your local representative and lets you place an automated call from one of the six dead people in their own voice, urging for stronger gun control laws.
