A brain-reading implant that translates neural signals into audible speech has allowed a woman with paralysis to hear what she intends to say nearly instantly.
Researchers enhanced the device — known as a brain–computer interface (BCI) — with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that decoded sentences as the woman thought of them, and then spoke them out loud using a synthetic voice.
Unlike previous efforts, which could produce sounds only after users finished an entire sentence, the current approach can simultaneously detect words and turn them into speech within three seconds.

We really need to fortify the 5th amendment to get ahead of this technology.

Huge L for thought privacy, nobody with working vocal cords would willingly get this.
I could see it being abused for interrogations though.
Maybe install it on convicted sex offenders along with some sort of monitoring system.

This is incredibly impressive, and a nice step forward for the field. Being able to help people recover from injuries and improve their quality of life is what this sort of technology is all about.
