Deepfaking the Mind
Brain computer interfaces (BCI) can allow someone’s thoughts, translated by artificial intelligence and algorithms, to become actions. According to an article by Forbes, “BCIs can allow a fully paralyzed person to operate a wheelchair by just thinking, to move a cursor on a computer screen, or even play pinball by moving the paddles with their mind. BCIs can be freeing for people with this type of paralysis. It can also be used to treat depression or to rehabilitate the brain.” BCIs have to be “trained” to each user; using AI-powered deepfake technology, researchers have found a way to speed up this training process “by up to 20 times.”
