The Future of AI

Researchers took publicly available data set of MRI brain readings and created this AI model by connecting it to something that encoded the MRI brain scans. So they were able to ask stable diffusion to recreate those videos based on those brain scans. This is pretty but this is pretty intensive, like getting into an MRI machine to capture the stuff that's coming off of your brain is pretty intense. And I don't know why this frightened me so, but it does a little bit.

So these researchers took this publicly available data set of MRI brain readings and created this AI model by connecting it to something that encoded the MRI brain scans and connected that to stable diffusion, which is an image generation AI model. And they were basically able to so the MRI data was basically scans of people who are watching these videos. So they were able to ask stable diffusion to recreate those videos based on those brain scans. So as you see in in that image above, the original video was of a cat and the reconstructed video was of a cat again, but a little bit different. So that's kind of how all of the before and afters look. So in another example, there was a fields with horses on it and the reconstructed video was basically another field, but with like brighter horses, a little bit more orangy color. So it's very interesting how kind of close these brains can AI generations are. Yeah,
Speaker 1
it's it's they knew they knew what the original pick like, I don't know, it just all feels feels very spooky to me. And I know that we have these systems where like I've written about this where people have begun to use these simple sensors that you can put on your on your head that will read some various things that your brain is putting out and using them to control video games like Elmering. I don't know, this I don't know why this frightened me so, but it does a little bit. This is pretty but this is pretty intensive, like getting into an MRI machine to capture the stuff that's coming off of your brain is pretty intense. Right. So all right, what what's next what's going to happen next with AI, what what frightening thing are you going to report about next week Chloe?
Speaker 2
Yeah.
