5 things about AI you may have missed today: AI data workers demand protection, AI MRI tools, more

[ad_1] Today, October 24, turned out to be a pivotal day in the field of artificial intelligence. In the first incident, data workers in the US who are training AI have written an open letter to the policymakers urging them to safeguard their rights and livelihoods. This comes ahead of the second AI Insight Forum which is going to be hosted by the US Senate with AI leaders. In other news, a new study has assessed AI-based imaging techniques to diagnose multiple sclerosis. This and more in today's AI roundup. Let us take a closer look.AI data workers write an open letter to the US SenateIn a letter directed to Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who serves as the Senate Majority Leader, laborers and organizations representing civil society have called upon Congress to protect against a "dystop...

Scientists use brain scans and AI to ‘decode’ thoughts

[ad_1] Scientists said Monday they have found a way to use brain scans and artificial intelligence modelling to transcribe "the gist" of what people are thinking, in what was described as a step towards mind reading.While the main goal of the language decoder is to help people who have lost the ability to communicate, the US scientists acknowledged that the technology raised questions about "mental privacy". Aiming to assuage such fears, they ran tests showing that their decoder could not be used on anyone who had not allowed it to be trained on their brain activity over long hours inside a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. Previous research has shown that a brain implant can enable people who can no longer speak or type to spell out words or even sentences.These "br...
