Why Elon Musk, Facebook and MIT Are Betting On Mind-Reading Technology

Elon Musk, Facebook, MIT, and a 16-year-old inventor are in the race to read minds with computers. Currently, researchers can detect brainwaves and track electromagnetic pulses within the neurons in our brains. Will this technology completely change humanity and what it means to be human?
Big players like Elon Musk and Facebook have teased their entrance into a market that's expected to reach $1.72B by 2022. New research is pouring out of universities like Massachusetts Institute of Technology and The University of California in San Francisco.

Sarif was right about one thing. It's in our nature to want to rise above our limits. Think about it. We were cold, so we harnessed fire. We were weak, so we invented tools. Every time we met an obstacle, we used creativity and ingenuity to overcome it. The cycle is inevitable. In the past, we've had to compensate for weaknesses, finding quick solutions that only benefit a few. But what if we never need to feel weak or morally conflicted again? What if the path Sarif wants us to take enables us to hold on to higher values with more stability? One thing is obvious. For the first time in history, we have a chance to steal fire from the gods. To turn away from it now - to stop pursing a future in which technology and biology combine, leading to the promise of a Singularity - would mean to deny the very essence of who we are. No doubt the road to get there will be bumpy, hurting some people along the way. But won't achieving the dream be worth it? We can become the gods we've always been striving to be. We might as well get good at it. - Deus Ex Human Revolution

This will be one of the critical, defining technologies of the 21st century. The human brain is an enormously powerful organic computer, but severely limited by weak output. The amount of data transferred by speaking or typing is very low. A direct high bandwidth IO between the brain and computer systems may be one of the few things that can let us keep up with AI. Regardless of the potential ways to abuse the tech, we're going to be in a very bad place in the second half of the century if AGI works and this doesn't. It may be the difference between working with AI or being replaced by AI.

That will NEVER happen . To actually read thoughts , no way. That’s what makes us such unique creatures. NO ONE even knows what exactly consciousness is yet and where it is “stored” ... great work , but reading brain waves will never answer our personal thoughts On top of that, if they did actually do that , it should be goddamn illegal . Even if it’s something as simple as the mind thinking it wants music on , it doesn’t matter , it’s dangerous and it will get in the hands of the wrong people , like everything does ...

Just a decade ago we would not believe computer is smart enough to defeat us in chess. Now it's a history. Consciousness is hard to grasp. But only because we're still learning about it.

Roman Klimenko there is a HUGE difference. A decade ago, I definitely knew and would have bet money that computers/ electronics would advance enough to the level of beating someone in chess. It’s a computer that can easily be programmed to learn the game of chess and learn all the moves systematically, that’s basically the point of a computer hence why there smarter than any mathematician on the planet... Anyone with a brain knew that computers will eventually be smarter than humans (the evolution of technology was occurring right in front of us), but intelligence and consciousness are two completely different animals... Building a computer to figure out our thoughts is on a whole new level. And since we can’t even figure out what consciousness is yet, how is anyone expecting us to teach a computer to learn about it . That’s what makes the human species so magical - which is our conscious world

@@klimenkor who are you? Lol jk 👤

[@ohnoninjaattack]

No thanks. I like my thought remaining in my own head.

[@DreckbobBratpfanne]

Now the only thing that's missing is that the computer can produce thoughts inside our brain aaand it's full immersive VR. 😆 i want it.

2:02 This kid is Peter Parker lol

[@supero5117]

And then, the mind uploaded on computer can produce super advanced robotic body for itself, and boom..human evolution and space exploration..or, how bout, hook the computer up to the mind and it will read ur thoughts, then teach you perfectly in the snap of a finger how to REALLY think!! Jus a thought

[@chris2790]

Pure fantasy. Like Chappe

[@viniciusornelas2160]

Mind upload is just fantasy crap

[@Skynet_the_AI]

Fantasy at best.... what is this ? A fkg movie? ;)

... there were already brainwave headsets out years ago they weren't that expensive my friend bought two different headsets because he was into messing with new tech... they cost around 200 dollars... all of the information they talked in this video already came out with headsets with the same idea that did the same thing -_-..... just depressing history is just repeating itself and people will realize that hey.. this doesn't work very well with current technology... also the jaw/musculature has nothing to do with brainwaves --- in order for what they proposed they would have to have a separate set of algorithms for all speech in every different language in order for it work properly..... if they ask for funding you won't be getting any return...

The speech synthesizer devices that uses brain activity can be modified for medical purposes to use on coma patients to help them communicate with doctors and family. This idea was something I thought about immediately after seeing this video on 22/07/2023. I life in South Africa Gauteng and my name is Bianke Du Plessis and I heard many medical stories about doctors saying people can hear and understand you while the patient is in comatose state.
