Neuralink implant helps ALS patient communicate via AI

Brad G. Smith, an ALS patient, can now communicate using a Neuralink brain implant, marking a significant advancement in brain-computer interface technology. This allows him to regain the ability to communicate using his thoughts. The implant, connected to a MacBook Pro, translates Smith's neural signals into cursor movements, enabling him to type and interact with the world. He uses AI to assist with writing and generating responses, improving his communication speed and quality. This technology offers new hope for individuals with speech impairments, with Neuralink receiving FDA recognition. Smith's experience highlights the potential of brain-computer interfaces to transform lives and raises important ethical considerations.
