Scientists create AI headset that predicts epileptic seizures in advance
A "unique” AI-powered headset that can predict epileptic seizures minutes before they occur has been developed by scientists in Scotland.The Glasgow Caledonian University team behind the research say the wearable device could dramatically transform the way the condition is managed.Currently, there is no readily available device that can give people with epilepsy advanced warnings of seizures.The headset analyses brainwaves and heart functions to detect an impending seizure, allowing the wearer to take precautions or warn those around them.The scientist behind the project says its greatest benefit could be giving people with epilepsy more confidence about the condition, helping them to avoid any secondary injuries caused by a seizure.OpenAI is preparing to launch a personal smart device that relies entirely on voice instead of traditional screens, as part of its efforts to redefine how people interact with technology, according to a media report.The company explained that it has merged several internal teams, including engineering, product, and research, with the aim of developing an advanced next-generation voice model. It noted that its engineering teams have collaborated over the past two months to redesign its voice models, in preparation for launching a smart device that relies entirely on voice within approximately a year.The new model from OpenAI includes a variety of devices, such as glasses or smart speakers without screens. These devices aim to reduce the need for multiple screens that consume time and attention, focusing instead on higher-quality, more interactive voice experiences. Through this device, OpenAI seeks to transition from being merely a software provider to a consumer electronics company, integrating artificial intelligence into users’ daily lives through voice, enabling tasks and communication to be accomplished without the need to look at a phone screen.WAM
