SINGAPORE: Singapore researchers are working on a project to develop a mind-reading Artificial Intelligence system. At the National University of Singapore, dozens of people are participating in a program where their brains are scanned in an MRI machine. The machine scans their brains while they look at between 1,200 and 5,000 images, Reuters reported earlier this week. And then MinD-Vis, the “mind-reading” AI, associates the scans with the images, with an individual AI model created for each participant. This allows a computer to “read” a person’s thoughts.

“So after we collect enough training data… we can create an individual AI model… and this AI model is kind of a translator. It can understand your brain activities just like ChatGPT understands the natural languages of humans,” Jiaxin Qing, one of the lead researchers, says.“In the scan, you will see the visual stimuli like this. And then we’ll record your brain activities at the same time.

“So the thing to address this is we should have very strict guidelines, ethical and law in terms of how to protect the privacy,” Reuters quotes Juan Helen Zhou, Associate Professor at NUS Medicine, as saying.“Say for some patients without motor ability, maybe we can help him to control their robots , and their phone, like communicate with, communicate with others like just using their thoughts instead of speech if that person couldn’t speak at that time.
