Neurotech firm Synchron has integrated OpenAI’s generative AI tech into its brain-computer interface to help severely paralyzed patients communicate again.
Patients suffering from severe neurological conditions, such as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), may now be able to chat with their loved ones again with the help of generative AI.
Last week, neurotechnology company Synchron announced it had integrated tech from OpenAI to integrate generative AI into its brain-computer interface (BCI) program. This would allow users with severe motor impairment to send more contextually-aware messages using their thoughts.
When a patient is sent a text or spoken to, OpenAI’s multimodal GPT models will provide Synchron’s interface with context-aware responses, creating more “natural” and real-time human-AI interactions.
