On the campus of the National University of Singapore, Professor Helen Zhao and a team of researchers say artificial intelligence is letting them see, well, a version of our thoughts.
新加坡国立大学的Helen Zhao教授和一组研究人员表示,人工智能将人类想象中的情景呈现在了他们眼前 。
Using a database of fMRI scans, the AI first got to see what people's brains looked like as they viewed more than 1,000 photos.
通过使用功能磁共振成像机扫描数据库,人工智能首先可以看到了人们在观看1000多张照片时的大脑是什么样子 。
Then, it was shown only brain scans as the subjects looked at new photos.
然后,在受试者观看新照片时,只向人工智能展示脑部扫描结果 。
Using a special language of brain activity the team developed, an image generator called "Stable Diffusion" then trying to recreate what each new photo had shown.
通过利用一种该团队开发的、特殊的大脑活动语言,一种名为“稳定扩散”的图像生成器来尝试重现每张新照片的内容 。
Scientists have pursued this for years, but AI makes the difference.
多年来,科学家们一直在向着这个目标努力,但人工智能带来了改变 。
Here's a giraffe shown to a subject. Now, ready? Here's the image the AI created, and it is sometimes very different between people.
这是给受试者看的长颈鹿 。准备好了吗?这是人工智能创造的图像,有时会与人看到的实际图像区别很大 。
Here's the original image of a grassy field, now here's three different versions generated from three different people's brain activity.
这是一片草地的原始图像 。这是三个不同的版本,是由三个不同的人的大脑活动生成的 。
Now what you're seeing is a recording of previous scans, not a real-time demonstration.
你看到的是之前扫描大脑的记录,而不是实时演示 。
And this process is slow, it requires an expensive machine and it has to be individually tailored.
整个过程会很慢,需要昂贵的机器,而且必须单独定制 。
At the University of Texas, another team is learning to pull word sequences using a similar technique.
在德克萨斯大学,另一个团队正在学习使用类似的技术提取单词序列 。
And a multi-university team last year founded in fMRI tests, these regions of the brain reliably predicted whether a subject leaned liberal or conservative.
去年,一个由多所大学组成的团队在功能磁共振成像测试中发现,大脑的这些区域能够可靠地表明受试者倾向自由派还是保守派 。
