I went to MIT and tried mind control technology. Sort of.

More accurately, I used my brain to control a computer. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Some of the world’s biggest tech companies are racing to develop brain-computer interfaces like this.

What could possibly go wrong?

Yes, artificial intelligence can read signals from your brain.

With a brain-computer interface, certain AI tools can decode brain activity and turn a person’s attempted speech into actual words.

I met Casey Harrell, who has ALS and uses this technology to communicate - even speaking in a version of his own voice.

And this is just the beginning. Researchers are developing increasingly powerful ways for AI to interpret brain signals, while a whole new generation of AI wearables and smart glasses is bringing artificial intelligence closer to our bodies than ever before.

So what happens when AI doesn’t just answer our thoughts - but starts to understand them?
