A direct look at the new future
Key idea: As part of BrainGate, a pioneering global collaboration for restoring communications using brain implants, the team envisioned—and then realized—the ability to restore communications using neural signals from the brain. Original author and publication date:…
Key idea: Researchers at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University have developed a new artificial skin for robots that can sense a wider variety of stimuli than normal skin, making it much more complex and capable than…
Key idea: Koko co-founder Robert Morris told Insider the experiment is "exempt" from informed consent law due to the nature of the test. Some medical and tech professionals said they feel the experiment was unethical.…
Key idea: New approaches to the biology of senescence can make lives longer and healthier. Original author and publication date: Andrew Steele (Wired) - January 1, 2023 Futurizonte Editor's Note: Our lifespan keeps expanding... or…
Key idea: An implanted device allows a man to translate his brain signals into written words. Original author and publication date: Nicoletta Lanese (Live Science) - November 9, 2022 Futurizonte Editor's Note: The beginning of…
Key idea: In the event technologists create truly sentient artificial intelligence, it’s unlikely that AI will destroy art, but it will certainly transform it. Original author and publication date: Katie Peyton Hofstadter (Bulletin of the…
Key idea: Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, are already implanted in 36 people around the world, according to Blackrock, a leading maker of these devices. Original author and publication date: Laura Tedesco (WebMD)) - October 12,…
Key idea: Using AI to create intelligent processes and workflows could make healthcare cheaper, more effective, more personalized, and more equitable. Original author and publication date: Bernard Marr (Forbes) - September 14, 2022 Futurizonte Editor's…
Key idea: Thirty years out from the start of the Human Genome Project, researchers have finally finished sequencing the full 3 billion bases of a person’s genetic code. But even a complete reference genome has…
Key idea: This highly innovative "nano-robot" should enable closer study of the mechanical forces applied at microscopic levels, which are crucial for many biological and pathological processes Original author and publication date: INSERM (Institut National…
