Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, Global Edition, 4ed
Recently, the combination of neuroimaging methods combined with machine learning techniques for analyzing such data has led to the beginnings of a capability to “read minds”—that is, to ascertain the semantic content of a person’s inner thoughts. This capability could, in turn, shed further light on how human cognition works.
Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig reminded me once again just how powerful technology can be. At first, that might sound a little scary. But take the recent viral video, for example—a man used Gemini to find a connection between Alzheimer’s and Alexander disease. Just by helping analyze data, these AI tools can reveal patterns we never noticed before.
When I told my mom I spent two hours trying to understand how machines can almost “read” our minds, she got a little freaked out. And honestly, it does sound wild. But like any powerful tool, it comes with both risks and rewards—we’re still figuring that part out.
For now, I’m happy exploring the hidden worlds in my books.
Reading minds? Hmm. Let’s see where this goes. :))
