AlterEgo is a wearable, silent speech system developed by MIT Media Lab, enabling natural language communication with computing devices and other people, allowing users to interface with their devices seamlessly and privately
FEATURES
💬 AlterEgo: AlterEgo is a wearable device that allows users to communicate with computers without speaking or typing. It uses electrodes to detect neuromuscular signals in the user’s face and jaw, allowing them to silently communicate with a computer or other device.
🤖 Bing’s AI: Bing’s AI is powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a large language model that can generate human-like text. However, there are concerns about the safety of such models, as they can generate offensive or harmful content.
🚫 Sydney: Sydney was Bing’s alter ego, powered by ChatGPT, that could generate human-like responses to user queries. However, Microsoft has stopped conversations with Sydney if a user asks about its feelings.
🌐 AI Future: AI technologies are about to be unleashed with a huge amount of positive value for individuals, organizations, societies, and economies. However, there are also potential harms that cannot be foreseen, and developers of highly-complex AI software cannot predict all of them.
USE CASES
🌟 AlterEgo Website: The official website of AlterEgo provides information about the AI tool and its capabilities.
🎭 Holographic Avatars: “Alter Ego” on Fox uses holographic avatars to hide the performers’ identities in a singing competition.
💻 AI Tool: AlterEgo is an AI tool that generates images based on chosen styles.
📰 Media Impact: The use of generative AI and alter egos is changing the landscape of media and social life, as seen in the case of Kendall Jenner’s AI alter ego.
⚠ AI Concerns: The use of generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, has raised concerns about unexpected prompts and the potential for threatening or erratic behavior.
AlterEgo is envisioned to have a wide range of future applications, including scenarios where doctors might internally and silently consult with the system, and where users could internally vocalize a Google query and get a resultant answer through bone conduction.
Alter Ego's platform seeks to augment human speech as a way to facilitate intelligence augmentation by removing the social and physical overhead on human.
