- Try talking to yourself without opening your mouth, by simply saying words internally. What if you could search the internet like that -- and get an answer back? In the first live public demo of his new technology, TED Fellow Arnav Kapur introduces AlterEgo: a wearable AI device with the potential to let you silently talk to and get information from a computer system, like a voice inside your head. Learn more about how the device works and the far-reaching implications of this new kind of human-computer interaction.

![BOLIVIA vs. COLOMBIA [1-0] | RESUMEN | ELIMINATORIAS SUDAMERICANAS | FECHA 9](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zg15uVWjuf4/mqdefault.jpg)
Four years ago, and I've never even heard of this until now... How is this not being talked about? How is this not being made into a product?
He's dead
Elon probably got rid of him
The government uses tech like this to chip targeted individuals. This tech is old. Just look at Stephen Hawking.
Right?! I can’t believe some other company hasn’t come up with something similar that’s a bit sleeker
@@sierramist446ohhhh im fairly sure someone has 😂😂😂
I think a lot of people are misunderstanding the fact that this device interacts only with your vocal cords and inner eardrums, NOT with your inner thoughts and consciousness. It picks up on deliberate vocalizations. So it's essentially like talking to Siri without opening your mouth.
S Go give it a few years. good riddance why are people so ignorant and naive.. The worst combination evet
@@AM-fh7ek Then you don't have to participate in any future implants and just rely on these more private devices. I don't see a world where these implants would become necessary in currently free countries as those kind of regulations haven't been implemented for tvs, computers and phones. You'll be fine.
@@thebeesknees1162 what implants? This is not an implant. He just showed how it can change people's lives. Wtf are you on?
S Go so do you talk to it by humming?
@@thebeesknees1162 This is lo tech gadgetry. They can already read our minds & control bodily functions without chips, implants or devices. People won't have a choice to opt out. If they want to connect to you then they will. It's happening.
Future:
Hmm, why the AI keeps telling me to jump from this particular bridge?
just do IT
Why it keep suggesting me to buy the premium version of something. Because they will put ads in it too. Haha
you're a goofy
This is the most viable AI interface I have seen or heard of ever. Very safe and human centered. Looking forward to seeing where this goes..
Yep. I'm following Arnav Kapur very closely now. Could be the next big billionaire.
That's what Elon Musk's Neuralink is trying to do too.
@@tempname8263 Elon has been talking about implants and wires into the brain, doesn't sound very appealing. If you have any more details I'd like to hear more but this simple subvocal interface seems very viable right now.
@@daowiz001 I agree, this is way better than an implant since it can be easily taken off if there's a new security vulnurability discovered or if the device stops working.
@@daowiz001 How else are you going to make an human brain extension?
Eric looks like a cyborg already.
@Martyr4JesusTheChrist Cyborg is a portmanteau of "cyber" and "organism." To look like a cyborg is to be rigid and unnatural. While his joke is uncalled for, it is etymologically sound.
@Martyr4JesusTheChrist Sometimes I'm not sure if people are actually butthurt at a really obvious joke or not.
He looks like a refugee coward
@Martyr4JesusTheChrist you seem like a butt hurt cyborg
I never seen a duct tape cyborg, not even of 80s Hollywood movies.
Oh yea I remember this Black Mirror episode.
And it's *real*.
That's what makes Black Mirror so scary. Most of the technologies from the episodes are almost here.
@@foggyblues13already here, just not normalized yet. They take thing that already exist and act like it’s normalized in that world which gives it the feeling of being dystopian. When in actuality, we’re already living in much worse dystopia than black mirror
@@ikelowry 100%
To paraphrase John Oliver "The robot apocalypse was inside us the whole time."
click my name to watch Son of Perdition part 3 then 4
I love how this is comimg from someone with a my little pony profile pic no offense just it's kinda funny
@Martyr4JesusTheChrist Are you getting worried?
@Martyr4JesusTheChrist how is my video flawed, or are you deceived
@Martyr4JesusTheChrist Whats the flaw? YOu.
3:30 "The control, in all situations, resides with the user."
For now.
yes, for now
@Daniel Steel, coding, or what AI is based or built on, cannot go out of its function. It has no free will, and let alone will not try to take control...
@@TN-ec6ig molecules, or atoms or what humans are based or built on, cannot go out of its function. It has no free will, and let alone will not try to take control...
@@TN-ec6ig im not trying to be mean or anything but this is not true
@@TN-ec6ig I am pretty sure it is a joke.
Lol I just watched black mirror and then this popped up in my recommendations. Crazy lmao
Same wtf
What if this popped up in your Submissions because you the type of person to watch black mirror
Google knows you better than anyone else.
same
Same, just the other way around :D
The video should be called “How to cheat in School”
You sir think alike XD
How to get smart at meetings and not to offend your colleagues by not paying attention. (or how to google in AR glasses without anybody noticing Or How to get smart answers without giving yourself out by loud clicking.
In Real world result matters more than how you did it.
Incredible technology! I can understand why people are scared and sceptic about it's usage. With all technology there are pros and cons, and this kind of technology falling in the wrong hands could be catastrophic, but it also has so much potential to do good and enhance our lives!
He's created it. Just recently released the video "The man has the internet in his head"
"Cortana, decrypt the enemy's communications."
"Imagine perfectly memorizing things." Um you mean imagine getting perfect exam grades without memorizing things.
Grades are just an arbitrary evaluation of your ability to memorize and link pieces of information together anyway. The sooner they become useless, the better imo.
Imagine yur thoughts just leaked out by hacking tht device ?
@@bhavinb.artstation I can imagine it. It's like cutting away a piece of my organic brain and making it still function. It's difficult nowadays.
This is the most impressive thing I've seen in a long long time
@Martyr4JesusTheChrist but humans are organic matter and they are the biggest source of evil. 'Soul' is software.
More impressive than LLMs? It's really cool but AlterEgo is basically just a quiet way to connect to google assistant/Siri through sound and vibrations.
Here is something really interesting, look up "EEG and fMRI in Brain neural activity decoding". The quality of image decoding they've reached is insane.
The researcher's intention seems good. But I recall a story called 'fire bird' by Osamu Tezuka. In the story, this kind of device was used for brain wash by a dictator. Anything you think, the dictator always FIX your idea using the inner voice. (it's an old story, that device used as a mask.) The main character in the story shout 'please stop talking from my inside', and try to cut his head off to stop the voice. Since the device is a punishment device against the dictator and he cannot remove the device. This technology is such a sharp double edge sword. If it is used for the people, I see the benefit, but if it was abused, I am terrified.
This is amazing and scary at the same time. It gives hope to those who needs help in communicating like Doug who has ALS, but this also gives me all the scary scenarios in Black Mirror.
When you realize that this guy is an Indian and from iitd . True motivation!!
This should be placed on comma patients to see if they are trying to communicate.
Arnav! I know him. He's at MIT Media Lab.
Its alive?
Where is his device now and where is he now??
Sarif was right about one thing. It's in our nature to want to rise above our limits. Think about it. We were cold, so we harnessed fire. We were weak, so we invented tools. Every time we met an obstacle, we used creativity and ingenuity to overcome it. The cycle is inevitable. - Deus Ex Human Revolution
Also dopamine
I can't believe this was 4 years ago, wheres this tech now?
What if it unintentionally spits the evil plans that I have in my head for my enemies?
And I thought we finally connected AI with the human conscious thought. Sounds like the voice was interpreted from the vocal chords, along the jaw line and feedback to the ear.
The singularity is near...
no, it is not.
Yuval Noah Harari!!!
When you consider the last real game changing human to computer interface was the mouse I'd say the next large step in computers is increasing how fast we can interact with them and how seamless this becomes so the laptop or the phone become obsolete and we can continue on down the metaphorical street and our digital world becomes as seem less and walking, talking and thinking.
After reading that book about Theranos (Bad Blood), I can't help but being skeptical about the progress he has displayed. How do we know these results were really live?? How do we know it wasn't pre-recorded?
If he really wanted to convince us, he should have asked the host to pick a random person in the audience to ask a question so we can see what happens.
Unfortunately, I don't doubt his psychopathy. I'm very sure this in play and the next generations will bring on the hive mind. Best wishes. FreeJulianAssangeFreePalestineFreeUsAll.
His job isn't to convince you, he's here to talk about his (already proven) research and developed device.
@@emmie1176 One of the purpose of these presentations is to lure in investors, genius. So yea, he does need to convince his audience
So it basically records everything you ever say. Probably anything getting through your throat as well, like your blood pressure and stuff, and in the future any signal you send to your limbs and who knows what. Also thinking out loud is now a dangerous activity and they can probably catch a lot of thoughts that were not for them to hear. More features like gps and health management will definitely be developped afterwards. Really looking forward to it.
Wow! Mind Boggling.........Fascinating & Futuristic Invention. thank you & Best Wishes
❤would love to share this Time saving device. Thanks for making a revolution child
If those demonstrations were an accurate representation of where they're at with speech recognition without data from lip&jaw movements, then they're way ahead of the competition in creating valuable technology. Other than that, it's more likely to become a wearable Alexa than the key to a transhumanist utopia the presenter seems to think it is.
This was an interesting talk. It changed the way I think about AI
👍
Finally we are watching the first frog leaps... not minuscule steps.. and with the years, these leaps wiill be huge! I know, it could lead to the Human be "connected" 100% of the time.. and sooner or later the reader will be in the Brain, not attached to the vocal system... we will see, by then, how this looks....
I think the part of the presentation where the subject says the weather was silly, as he probably already knew the weather. It would have been better if he had been asked a question he didn’t already know the answer to.
The answer it is not the important thing. It is just the ouput. The very interesting thing is the way they are able to get the input.
@@ampostata exactly, this is NOT voice recognition.. is reading from the nerves usds to say a word... the AI read the patterns and correctly discovers what the person wants to say (without say it!)... Sooner or later, would be a brain reader.. the designer knows it, but wanted to start without ethical challenges...
Speaker is tall, dark, highly intelligent, and gorgeous 😍😍😍😍
The 'goal' is to read/edit/erase thoughts in the brain _almost as quickly as they appear_ ... just like how a RUclips algorithm can auto-censor content/commentary that contains illegal language, imagery, etc.
It reads, passively, for now. But it doesn't take long for engineers to convert sensors into controllers.
The endgoal for this technology is literal thought-control. Even if weasley worms like this presenter don't think so, there are still plenty of powerful and unscrupulous parties who do (e.g., Chinese, US, Russian governments).
Well put. Best wishes.
I'm looking forward to that. Great idea. Keep it up!
You do know that they will manipulate the way we think and make the user their slave..? please dont promote this thing. it will make us less human and more robotic.
@@_luni_2834 We could limit it by having an off switch, so we can just turn it off if it's annoying. And what does it mean to be human in this case? We already have the ability to search anything up with our computers, what difference would this be?
@@_luni_2834 Sorry friend, but it is very clear you do not understand how the device works. It's a one-way street in this design, no room for manipulation, although certain skepticism is always healthy. Have a good day!
@@wonderful888 ruclips.net/video/QUr6eN9-NlE/видео.html watch this video. You clearly dont know the problems of this technology and how harmful it will be to the human society. please dont promote things you clearly have no idea about its cons. have a nice day and hopee it helps.
@@_luni_2834 LMFAO gtfo with your conspiracist bullshit, ain't nowhere near eye-opening, it's just alarming how some people just see schemes everywhere. You think this thing can manipulate you ? You're just asking to be manipulated to prove your point at this point. I'll gladly debunk all of it if you insist however.
damn !!! that's amazing and frightening at the same time.....🤯
Yeah, i like especially the part, how it could help people, who cannot speak.
@@traywor if you can't speak then you should deal with it.
@@iz_ray2479 That's either very rude and insensitive, or a lame troll. If we can do something to fix/compensate for it safely, why shouldn't we ?
This can help people that can’t speak
Seems like a cool way to communicate privately in an office setting if on some type of blockchain network. Maybe even DARPA uses something like this.
If it's possible to make one for the voluntary nervous system, its also possible to make one for the involuntary brain activity!
Hmmn 🤔
Never ever imagined about this !!
Are you guys crazy
Truly Amazing technology. AI technology that does NOT INTERFACE with your consciousness and thoughts but with your vocal chords and nervous system. What a gift for people who need it. A great invention for humanity and a Well articulated talk.
This device can be modified for medical purposes to use on coma patients to help them communicate with doctors and family. This idea was something I thought about immediately after seeing this video on 22/07/2023. I live in South Africa Gauteng and my name is Bianke Du Plessis and I heard many medical stories about doctors saying people can hear and understand you while the patient is in comatose state.
The possibilities of this going wrong are so many. For example, who can guarantee that what you deliberately record to use as a perfect memory (as he said ) won't be available for third party to be red or even worse to augment. Someone could literally change "your" memories... I am not saying the technology is bad, but the people can be - if we ignore this and act like everyone's moral it is like if body would ignore cancerous cell and just let it grow instead of fighting it. Humanity could do great things and technology is the way, we just need to be extremely careful. I support this, but first we really need to build awareness before we merge with AI.
Maybe I've misunderstood, but it sounds like this technology does not give us any new abilities at all - it just removes the need to speak. I struggle to see the benefits of this type of human-computer interaction compared to a human simply typing into a computer or speaking to it (except obviously in the case of people with disabilities). I don't see how having a computer inside our head, compared to outside of our body is any kind of advantage. We should remember that when we use computers and the internet as we do now - without physical integration of brain and machine - we are already augmenting our intelligence, just not in a cool sci-fi way. When he says what are the implications of this technology 'silent texting', 'automatic translation' etc. they don't actually seem that amazing compared to the similar technology that already exists - except for helping disabled people which is obviously incredibly cool and important, is this stuff actually useful for the rest of us? (I'm not an expert on neurotechnology or anything so genuine question and don't take my ideas too seriously).
I would love to use my thoughts to engine search something instead of using my phone or laptop. A little over a decade ago it was a strange idea to carry around a cellphone as well
Can anyone link me to Arnav Kapur's socials or any contacts for this device? It would be helpful since my father is an ALS patient.
I wonder if it could be used to interpret what babies and animals are trying to say.
@@newrev9er Many animals have their own methods of speech, such as elephants and dolphins. If they could learn to use this the AI could translate to human concepts.
Babies can yet deliberately form words, so it probably wouldn't work with them, however, this technology could possibly pave the way for new tech that can read what some more intelligent animals (i.e., apes) are trying to say in a way that is comprehensible for humans
The stupidity of tedtalk audiences never ceases to amaze. Reading the comments to this talk....makes me think replacement by AI altogether is the way to go. Best wishes.
@uday kadam, babies and animals have undeveloped brains, therefore, this technology will not work on these “untrained” brains
@@TN-ec6ig
Actually I remember reading a paper about how trained model was able to reproduce what you are watching in realtime literally.
So I am not saying above technology would be sufficient but its well known that your brain instantly develop picture of things you are in desire of.
Eg child crying due to hunger might develop picture of bottle that satisfies his/her need everytime (correlation pattern).
Imagine AR glasses like Vuzix, and this device. You would be able to Google at your meetings, and nobody would criticize you for not paying attention.
Beautiful technology but it raises some questions as well:
In the future can a persons mind be hacked / can you upload a virus in to someones brain and make them stab someone or rob something ?
What if you get electrical shock or a static discharge as many ppl have gotten in their lives ? if you get shocked how does your brain reacts ?
How do you take a school test if your brain is hooked online 24 / 7 ? how can you prove you learn something if you can just google everything ? what happens if you run out of money and your internet plan ends ? does your ai brain just turn dark ? does it respond offline ? and many many more
The mind will be hacked only if a device is created that will control our thoughts, what we think and what we have to say.
No a virus is a software and can't be embed in a living thing, yes it can infect that particular device to ruin our thoughts, but again that device has to be there.
We normally gets minimal shocks everyday which are very harmless, so we have to create device like that which work on fraction of mili ampere to not affect us.
Devices like this will be removable also to make it fair during exams.
Googling for information is already going on its not new thing, you are already searching everything now.
In future Internet will be so cheap and easily accessible that nothing will go offline. Everything will be on cloud and online.
I heard of a drug called Scopolamine
That does something like that rn
don't be fooled. Just DON'T do it 😆
I wonder if school policies would be put in place to stop students from wearing this technology during tests. Is it an invasion of privacy for teachers to check behind students' ears to see if they're wearing it? 🤔
I think Doug would suggest a reboot for you too!
Why do I hear the Terminator Theme playing in my head?
@Nicholas lol
I hear boss battle music
Still no news on Neuralink. I find the Neuralink concept a little more exciting to be honest. Not to take away from this piece of technology. It still sounds very useful!
This seems like a stepping stone to Neuralink to me. Like something like this could be commercialized within 5 years, and then Neuralink would come 5-15 years later.
I think there will be an announcement in next few months
Martyr4JesusTheChrist how so?
@Martyr4JesusTheChrist By what?
@Martyr4JesusTheChrist Are you serious? It depends how the technology is made. Nobody is going to install a chip in their brain that lets the government read your thoughts. It will have to be an open source system. People will check this out before putting it in their fucking head man.
"How AI could become an extension of your mind " posed on 6 June 2019 - forgive me but fucking Ray Kurzweil has been BANGING on about this for the last 20 years yet TED bring it to us today as if its something new.
👍amazing, the future looks more amazing every day
I feel like no one is asking this. When could this be released as a product?
Is there a way to sign up for a trial? My daughter has Autism and has issues processing communication. I would love nothing more than to know what is going on in her mind to know how to better her life.
This has been a long time coming - He didn't mention it, but surgically adding these into humans at a young age will be the goal I'm sure...
This is scary amazing technology
Rewatching this in 2024 is exciting now that we have the Apple Vision Pro & LLM models, brain computer interface could be the missing puzzle that could render the need for keyboards obsolete.
Where can i buy or get this device?
Fascinating, maybe a little scary? I can totally imagine a Black mirror episode based on this.
@Martyr4JesusTheChrist haha. You obviously have not been looking around at the recent developments in AI my friend.
Where can buy AlterEgo ?
it's awesome & defenetely the future of interfaces
Amazing way of thinking about it

I can see this becoming something like a tattoo! A tattoo on the neck with conductive nano beads on the skin could potentially make this totally possible while damn near invisible. Or I guess you could make the tattoo look really cool as well.
Like in that series Dark Angel with Jessica Alba....gorgeous..... Stupid idea. Best wishes.
You all need to watch Ghost In The Shell.
The show discussed all of this years ago.
FBI / MOSAD / R&AW and other such ethical organisations would need this tech.
how can i learn this its so awesome i have so many ideas my head is gonna explode this is the future
the return of ted :3
I. Need. This. Now.
This is some thing Gonna stuck The Whole AI World ..... Just Extreme version Bro...
Congratulations !
What about answering in Exams?
This is the reason for “gang stalking” try putting the muscle translator(audio beam generator) in there gut so they do not know it’s happening,play there internal monologue back to them over time then simply talk to them in the same voice to become there internal monologue
Why everyone in world excessively tags AI to such applications used in background, which clearly is an application of Machine Learnings. I feel the most important task was to discover and enhance the sensors.
Super technology amazing 😇😇😇
Absolutely fabulous
This guy's popping right now on social media.
Another revolutionary inventor who may actually prevent ai hostility against humans
I don't know if that help to know what your baby saying , before he start talking
Omg this could be used to get Information you want to know. In a combination with the right words said you can make the attached person think of the answer and then you have it on the computer
He reminds me of Pranav Mistry. Well, they build amazing things, but the prototypes never make it to market.
It's not a dream anymore HUMANS,READY FOR IMPACT.
You can’t read people’s thoughts but you can control them
The woman at the end totally seemed to be trying to sabotage this idea... he clearly answered her questions in the beginning of the lecture
Although it's a revolutionary step but still I think that AI has the capability of self enhancing itself and hence could lead to a devastating impact on humans in the long run because robots can dominate humans
Like that's a bad thing?
AI is not some technocratic version of pandora's box. It has limitations, what this man proposed for example is limited by what you feed into it and what it can output into the physical world. Sure some new features feel like magic at first because the mechanics of it are hidden to the user. But this is the case with all radically new technologies. As long as you control what you feed into a system, and what the system can output to the physical world, there is no reason to fear it. Only yourself, and possibly other actors with administrator privileges to the system. Like the giant companies that collect your data today have administrator privileges over the systems that you use to run your life - today. If you want to fear anything, fear other people - and yourself..
*This does not say that i advice fear of others and yourself, because in general i don't (with a few exceptions of course :)
Utkrisht Singh I really don’t understand when ppl say robots are gonna dominate cuz at the end of the day they are just lines of code. Oven which the coder has control right?!
A roomba can't kill you mate.
InCrIpTiOn yeah it is. Its totaly NOT worth it...
Everyone is talking about how the artificial intelligence will control people & stuff... I see a completely different problem. If we will have this device, this computer in our head (yes, in the future it will probably lead to having computers in brains) then what will we live for? We will know everything just by asking the internet in our minds. Knowing everything. Life would loose its purpose
💯👍
Amazing love from india

@@AM-fh7ek lmao what does hollywood have to do with this
I thought the device's name was Rodrigo until I read the description.
Not scared. I'd rather it read thoughts, rather than prevocal signals. Internal systems are essentially secure.
imaging someone illegally recording your thoughts
@@barepixels My thoughts, among billions of other humans' thoughts? Yeah, because mine are that special. Yours too!
Nah. Not worried, because if "they" wanted to track us and monitor us, they already have our phones, laptops, etc. ip addys, and can peruse our every social media post. Besides, that is not what this video was about. If someone illegally copied my mind and made a copy of me to use as a slave on another world, now then, we'd have issues.

00:47 did he say 'freeing us to interact with the world around us.'? Exactly FREEING? I am not a native speaker, and it is hard to decipher this word told so fast.
Yes that's what he said. I assume he did so because you now don't have to look down to your phone in order to search something, meaning you can maintain the conversation you're having or keep going about your day
