Unlocking devices using 'pass thoughts' and robotic teaching assistants predicted at the World Economic Forum in Davos
Robots could soon be able to read your mind - and we won't be able to stop them, experts claim.
If
expert predictions come true, by 2030 smartphones , tablets and
computers will be able to examine our brain activity to see what we are
thinking.
Initially
this will be used for security as a kind of 'pass thought' - the user
thinks of a specific song or thought which the device recognises and
then unlocks itself.
But a panel at the World Economic Forum, in
Davos, warned of the terrifying possibility of hackers reading people's
innermost thoughts.
Nita Farahany, professor of Law and
philosophy at Duke University, said: "Beyond two-factor
idenitification...is using neural signatures - 'pass thoughts'.
"It turns out every person thinks quite differently about the same thing.
Prof Farahany: 'There is no legal protection' more after the cut...
"So you could think like a song or a little ditty in your
head while you are wearing a consumer based EEG device and then that,
which has a unique neural signature, can be used as your pass code."It
turns out that's an incredibly effective, incredibly safe and almost
impossible to replicate pass code, so there is discussion about using
pass thoughts."
She added: "Then you've got to really think about privacy.
Mind-reader: Robots could be looking at your brain waves by 2030
Prof Farahany described a not-too-distant future where people
constantly wear EEG devices and share their brain activity, thoughts,
mental health - and even diagnoses for diseases like Alzheimer's - with
computers and tablets and online.But she warned once out there, "not good Samaritans" could access the data.
She said: "The question is, what do we do in that world.
"The idea that law is going to help us is not likely."
"There are no legal protections from having your mind involuntarily read," she added.
Robot teaching assistants were also predicted at during the panel discussion.
Artificial Intelligence: Andrew Moore predicts robot teaching assistants
Andrew
Moore, Dean of Carnegie University’s School of Computer Science said:

experts around them, reminding them: 'You know what, Betty was looking
miserable last lesson see if you can find out what's going on' or 'watch
out there's a warning the weather's going to get bad and the kids might
be alarmed'.

Kanye West’s wild and unexpected Twitter spree this afternoon began as an assault on Wiz Khalifa, who took issue with ‘Ye’s decision to retitle his new album Waves. Kanye first went after Wiz’s style and music, but the firestorm quickly veered in the direction of Amber Rose, who dated Kanye from 2008 to 2010 and dated, and briefly married, Wiz from 2011 to 2014.
In
a now-deleted series of tweets, Kanye said he “owned” Wiz and Amber’s
two-year-old son, and spiraled into a rant shaming Wiz’s relationship
with Amber. “4th
you let a stripper trap you,” he wrote. “5th I know you mad every time
you look at your child that this girl got you for 18 years. 6th don’t
ever come out the side of your neck at me.”
