Yves Herman/Reuters By  Adam Satariano April 21, 2021 The European Union unveiled strict regulations on Wednesday to govern the use of artificial intelligence, a first-of-its-kind policy that outlines how companies and governments can use a technology seen as one of the most significant, but ethically fraught, scientific breakthroughs in recent memory. The draft rules would set limits around the use of artificial intelligence in a range of activities, from self-driving cars to hiring decisions, bank lending, school enrollment selecti...

SCIENTISTS CONNECT HUMAN BRAIN TO COMPUTER WIRELESSLY FOR FIRST TIME EVER System transmits signals at ‘single-neuron resolution’, say neuroscientists   SCIENTISTS CONNECT HUMAN BRAIN TO COMPUTER WIRELESSLY FOR FIRST TIME EVER System transmits signals at ‘single-neuron resolution’, say neuroscientists Anthony Cuthbertson @ADCuthbertson 6 days ago  1  comments Leer en Español The first wireless commands to a computer have been demonstrated in a breakthrough for people with paralysis. The system is able to transmit brain signals at “single-neuron resolution and in full broadband fidelity”, say researchers at Brown University in the US. A clinical trial of the BrainGate technology involved a small transmitter that connects to a person’s brain motor cortex. Trial participants with paralysis used the system to control a tablet computer, the journal  IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering  reports. The participants were able to achieve similar typing speeds and po...
