Researchers Develop AI 'Mind-Reading' Tool That Reconstructs What Your Eyes See
Authored by Jacob Burg via The Epoch Times,
A cutting-edge new artificial intelligence (AI) tool can reconstruct images from a person's vision simply by analyzing brain scans.
The technology recreates a person's visual field with startling accuracy and can also predict brain activity by analyzing what a person is looking at in real time.
Professor Michal Irani of the Weizmann Institute of Science developed the "mind-reading" AI model Brain-IT, which interprets functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans of participants' brain activity as they view a series of images.
Irani and her team - which includes Roman Beliy, Amit Zalcher, Jonathan Kogman, and Navve Wasserman from Weizmann's Computer Science and Applied Mathematics Department - released their research on Sept. 14.
While the current study used fixed images, Irani's lab plans to test these so-called mind-reading methods on participants' hearing a...

Planning For Pitchforks: AI Labs Are War-Gaming A Catastrophe, Public Revolt, And The Crackdown That Follows
The AI industry has been war gaming not only how it might destroy humanity, but is also considering what an angry public could do to the industry.
Senior executives at Anthropic, OpenAI and other AI firms are privately gaming out scenarios in which a major AI incident triggers a public and political revolt, Axios reported Friday. The potential trigger is a cyberattack that disrupts banking, internet access, or essential services such as power and water. The next crisis would be political: an angry public, demands for accountability, and pressure to shut the technology down.
Many industry insiders told Axios they expect a major event within six to 12 months. OpenAI pushed back on the suggestion that disaster is inevitable, saying its preparedness exercises cover a range of possibilities. "These scenarios are not treated as inevitable," a spokesperson told the outlet. Anthropi...
