AI and Brain State Decoding

Every camera you walk past that is integrated with AI

systems increasingly can decode mental states.

There's some really interesting research that we can plant false memories in the

brain. People believing that they've been at Disney World with

characters who are

not Disney characters, taking photographs with those characters.

Those products are hitting the market this year.

What they will be capable of doing is very high-level brain state reading.

Things like, are you tired? Are you paying attention?

Is your mind wandering? Are you happy or sad?

One of the emerging areas that's really interesting in law and neuroscience

is pain

detection.

Mm.

Um, and once we understand the circuitries

that, uh,

cause pain, I guess the question is could we then instill

pain and use that-

Mm

... in many coercive measures, uh, in the legal system as well.

We can pick up and decode faces

that you're seeing in your mind. Simple shapes, numbers,

your PIN number to your bank account.
