“Over the last decade, technology has been developed that allows people to preserve speech or speak through machines, and the latest advances in ALS are so-called brain-computer interfaces, or BCI devices,” Dr Dave said.This technology records brain signals and then translates or decodes those brain signals, allowing people who cannot move to control objects in their environment using their mind. “So someone who can’t speak can now speak by thinking, and type by thinking. In the 10 years since the Ice Bucket Challenge, this field of brain-computer interfaces has transformed and is really at the cutting edge of technology,” he…
To address and mitigate the disruptive and still-emerging threat posed by deepfakes, the Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit is moving to rapidly deploy commercially available capabilities to identify and detect such fabricated or manipulated multimedia and online content. Deepfake technology, broadly defined, is the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities to “face swap” people, or create synthetic audio and visual media to make people appear to say or do something different than they actually are. Such altered material, which is said to have first appeared in 2017, continues to become more widely available, easier to use and…
Federal agencies will need a new type of chief technology officer to resolve the conflict between an increasing reliance on advanced technology to deliver great digital experiences and the heavy environmental toll that comes with their use, according to Intel Federal CTO Steve Olin.To achieve this goal, this new type of CTO, dubbed the “sustainable CTO” in a recently released Intel report, could promote the use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics and implement a variety of other strategies to reduce the agency’s environmental impact, Olin wrote in a column published in GovLoop on Tuesday.Additionally, a sustainable…
