The Telepathic Promise: A Glimpse into AI's Next Frontier Conduit, a San Francisco based startup founded in 2024 by Rio Popper and Clem von Stengel, is working on developing a wearable device that enables users to communicate commands to AI assistants via their thoughts.
This technology, dubbed "telepathy at scale," has the potential to revolutionize human machine interactions for individuals with disabilities such as ALS and other neurodegenerative illnesses.
The process involves participants wearing a four pound helmet studded with electrodes during freeform conversations with AI over a two hour period. In exchange for their time, participants are offered $50 to $55.
