@the_ai_factory_: She can speak After 18 years of silence, Ann Johnson can finally speak again. This isn't a sci-fi it's a massive AI breakthrough in brain-computer interfaces Scientists at UCSF implanted a tiny grid on Ann’s brain that decodes her thoughts into a digital avatar. Not only does it "speak" for her, but the AI also recreates her unique facial expressions and emotions in real-time. Before this, she could only communicate at a few words per minute. Now? She’s hitting 80 words per minute nearly the speed of normal conversation. The major Question We talk a lot about the "dangers" of AI... but is THIS the real future we should be excited about. Let’s celebrate this win in the comments. #AI #MedicalBreakthrough #UCSF #innovation #aibreakthrough
