"What's on your mind?" Well, only AI knows

AI’s ability to make machines behave like humans was itself a pathbreaking innovation, and now AI can read your mind too!

The rise in technological innovation has led to countless advancements in various industries. The ability of AI to make machines act like humans - machine learning that enables machines to learn and adapt to their surroundings over time, as well as, deep learning techniques - have left humans stunned. Along with offering great, exciting, and fantastic innovations, now AI can read your mind too. Yes, you read it right! AI has reached a level where it can not only behave and act like humans but also read the complex human mind.

Now, AI can read your mind

AI has offered countless benefits to various industries including retail, healthcare, and tourism. Right from its amazing features like speech recognition, predictive analytics, text analytics, and NLP to mind-blowing innovations such as chatbots, robotsand , self-driving cars, AI has come a very long way. With AI, there is no looking back; the technology is proliferating, doing things that no one had ever imagined. And now, AI can read your mind. Researchers have developed AI systems that can read human mind, i.e., these systems can picture the stuff you see. According to researchers, complex human brain thoughts can be gauged by analyzing the flow of blood to brain. This helps identify the electrical activity using the information from functional MRI scans and then using a decoder that helps to decode things that humans see. “One of the big advances of the human brain was the ability to combine individual concepts into complex thoughts, to think not just of ‘bananas,’ but ‘I like to eat bananas in evening with my friends,” researchers said.

Time to prepare for some big changes

AI is revolutionizing rapidly and various industries are already leveraging this technology to make exciting advancements in their respective areas. With this new found application of AI to read minds, various business sectors are expected to find ways to benefit. The technology can be used in the medical field for understanding, let’s say, the speech of patients who are having difficulty in speaking or cannot talk at all. Moreover, the technology can be useful for industries to understand the strategies and plans of their competitors; helping businesses plan their trends, accordingly. Using predictive analytics and AI technology to reading minds, companies can analyze the market trends, make better decisions, benchmark their industry standards, and stay ahead of the curve. Furthermore, this technology could prove to be beneficial for detecting intruders and analyzing their plan of corrupting any system. For instance, intruders are continually injecting polluted data, and AI can be used to identify the intruder by reading what's going on in her mind. ‘AI can read your mind,’ - this statement sounds exciting as well scary. We’ve read about why its exciting, but since privacy may become an issue with this new application, it’s scary too. Therefore, privacy is one aspect that must be dealt with alongside the development of the technology.
