The Story in Brief
Former OpenAI alignment researcher Naomi Bashkansky has joined AI startup Conduit as a founding researcher after resigning on July 23, Times Now reports. She says the company is training models to interpret brain signals and convert thoughts into text without implants or surgery.
Bashkansky predicts that lightweight neural headbands could help users send intentions to AI assistants by 2027. By 2030, she expects AI systems may understand brain signals directly, while by 2035 they could feel like a natural extension of the user. Conduit is collecting non-invasive brain data, and Bashkansky argues that larger datasets and more computing power can improve decoding despite noisy signals.
The Indian Opinion
Claims that thought-reading AI is either imminent telepathy or pure science fiction are both too simple. The source gives predictions and a description of Conduit’s approach, not evidence that the system works reliably or can decode private thoughts today. The real test will be whether independent trials show accurate results across users, along with clear consent and data protections.
