Communication using thought alone? Unbabel unveils AI project to give us superhuman capabilities
Unbabel's development of a brain-to-computer interface called Halo.
Key points:
- Unbabel, a language translation startup, has been exploring brain-to-computer interfaces as a way to improve communication.
- They have developed Halo, a device that uses an EMG system to measure muscle response and generate personalized language through generative AI.
- The potential applications of Halo include assisting patients with ALS and other communication challenges, with the goal of reaching superhuman communication capabilities.
Hint on Elon Musk: Unbabel's approach to brain-computer interfaces is non-invasive and focuses on enhancing communication, in contrast to Elon Musk's Neuralink, which is exploring invasive brain-computer interface devices.
