Aug 27, 2025 – Step inside a world where AI builds worlds, rewrites language, and merges minds—today, not decades from now. In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Alan D. Thompson, renowned AI analyst, breaks down the race toward...
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are no longer speculative technologies of future warfare – they are being field-tested by countries such as the United States and China. As BCI technologies transition from the laboratory to the battlefield, they bring both significant risks and potential advantages for future warfare. In this post, Dr. Anna M. Gielas, an affiliated researcher with the Centre for Global Knowledge Studies at the University of Cambridge, explores how BCI may challenge international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law, requiring closer scrutiny and deeper debate on the development of national and international BCI regulations.
Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, aim to enable people to control various adaptive devices directly with their thoughts. There are many BCI devices currently in various stages of development, with the potential to help people with ALS and similar conditions across many different activities of daily life. One particular area in which BCI devices may be able to support people with advanced ALS symptoms is communication. Many people with ALS rely on devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops to write or speak. All tools like these, collectively known as augmentative and alternative communication or AAC devices, need some kind of input to work. This could mean using a keyboard, a touchscreen, or, for people with advanced paralysis, an eye-gaze device. As ALS progresses, however, even eye gaze devices may become difficult for some people to use. BCIs—by allowing people to control AAC devices with their minds—could be a potential solution to this problem. Today, on Endpoints, we’re joined by two experts to discuss BCI technology and, in particular, its potential to help people with ALS continue to communicate.

Zwei Fragen, zwei Perspektiven – und ein Podcast zwischen Japan und KI. In dieser F&A-Folge geht es um den Einfluss generativer Tools auf Designqualität und Kreativität und um die Frage, ob es so etwas wie „universell gutes Design“ überhaupt gibt. Daniel fragt, ob KI-generierte Interfaces zu mehr Konformität und weniger Kreativität führen. Wir sagen: Vielleicht – aber das muss nichts Schlechtes sein. Warum standardisierte Designs ein mächtiges Werkzeug für schnelle Tests und erste Prototypen sein können, wo KI an ihre Grenzen stößt und wann es Sinn macht, wieder den Menschen ins Zentrum des Gestaltungsprozesses zu holen.Leander meldet sich aus Japan und bringt die internationale Perspektive ein: Gibt es Design, das überall funktioniert und überall verstanden wird? Wir sprechen über kulturelle Unterschiede, implizite Designkonventionen, Touchscreens als globale Metapher und warum das Streben nach Inklusion letztlich allen Nutzern hilft.Gute Fragen und viele Gedanken wünschen …Chris & Alexvon https://wahnsinn.design P.S. wir freuen uns mit Wahnsinn Design Leander Modersohn zur Free Diving WM in Japan gesponsert zu haben.

It's wizardry. It's sorcery. Nobody gets it.” “We actually can use text and code to affect the world around us.” “Computing should almost be this humanistic liberal art—it should connect to language and philosophy and art.” “Code is not a substance, but it operates in the world.” “Computers are weird everything machines.” “We're shielded from the vast complexity of computing—until something goes wrong.” “People used to build computers in their garages. Now we can't even open them.” “Unix is like the Epic of Gilgamesh of computing—it's been around for decades and it's still foundational.” “AI is powerful, but it's part of a much longer conversation around tools for thought.” “Biology is a wildly different computer than anything we would ever use to compute with.” “Science fiction doesn't always predict well, but it gives us worlds we can aim toward.” “I want more weird, playful experimentation in computing—something beyond the chat interface.” “Computing history is so young that many of the pioneers are still around to email.” “Ultimately, all these tools were developed for people. They're meant to be in service of humans.”

This week's special episode—produced in partnership with Institute for Neuroscience, Neurotechnology, and Society at Georgia Tech – features two powerful stories from individuals whose lives have been shaped by brain-computer interfaces.Part 1: As his Parkinson's symptoms worsen and medications take a toll, Brandan Mehaffie faces a life-altering decision: continue down a difficult path or undergo brain surgery to implant an electrode to stimulate deep areas of his brain.Part 2: After an accident leaves Ian Burkhart with complete tetraplegia, he grapples with losing his independence — until he's offered a chance to participate in a groundbreaking clinical trial using muscle stimulation controlled by a brain implant to help restore movement.Brandan Mehaffie: Graduate University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy. Retired Director of Pharmacy Asset Protection Rite Aid Pharmacy. Married 25 years to wife Kelly and have two adult daughters Mae and Riley. Diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2016 and recipient of deep brain stimulation surgery in 2022. I am a huge sports buff and gym rat. I enjoy spending time with and cooking for family and friends.Ian is a C5 complete tetraplegic from a diving accident in 2010. He is the founder and president of the BCI Pioneers Coalition and the North American Spinal Cord Injury Consortium President. After participating in a few clinical trials, he understood the need for engagement of individuals with lived experience from the start. Ian was the first person in the world to restore movement to a paralyzed limb using a BCI neuroprosthetic. He is also the Executive Director of the Ian Burkhart Foundation, which raises funds for medical equipment for other individuals living with paralysis. His research focuses on amplifying the lived experience of people with disabilities.

It is the fodder of science fiction plots: implanting a device into the human brain... the blockbuster franchise “The Matrix” comes to mind. Here in the real world, though, it's actually happening. While tiny computers have been implanted into less than 100 brains so far, their impact has been life-changing. Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, have done everything from allowing increased mobility to helping with speech. Could these devices become more mainstream and help the disabled do even more in the future? Dr. Iahn Cajigas, a neurosurgeon at the University of Pennsylvania who has studied brain-computer interfaces and worked with patients using them, joins USA TODAY's The Excerpt to share his insights.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.Episode Transcript available hereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch goes deep on how V0, their text-to-app platform, has already generated over 100 million applications and doubled Vercel's user base in under a year.Guillermo reveals how a tiny SWAT team inside Vercel built V0 from scratch, why “vibe coding” is making software creation accessible to everyone (not just engineers), and how the AI Cloud is automating DevOps, making cloud infrastructure self-healing, and letting companies expose their data to AI agents in just five lines of code.You'll hear why “every company will have to rethink itself as a token factory,” how Vercel's Next.js went from a conference joke to powering Walmart, Nike, and Midjourney, and why the next billion app creators might not write a single line of code. Guillermo breaks down the difference between vibe coding and agentic engineering, shares wild stories of users building apps from napkin sketches, and explains how Vercel is infusing “taste” and best practices directly into their AI models.We also dig into the business side: how Vercel's AI-powered products are driving explosive growth, why retention and margins are strong, and how the company is adapting to a new wave of non-technical users. Plus: the future of MCP servers, the security challenges of agent-to-agent communication, and why prompting and AI literacy are now must-have skills.VercelWebsite - https://vercel.comX/Twitter - https://x.com/vercelGuillermo RauchLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rauchgX/Twitter - https://x.com/rauchgFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro (02:08) What Is V0 and Why Did It Take Off So Fast?

You'll hear a preview of the episode here, but head over to our Substack and become a premium member if you'd like to access the full episode: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/josh-clark-and-veronika-kindred As designers, we're entering a new era. AI isn't just a tool we use behind the scenes, but a collaborator we're designing with and for. It's a shift that challenges our assumptions, pushes us beyond static interfaces, and calls on us to rethink what it means to create experiences in an intelligent, adaptive world. In this episode, we talk with Josh Clark and Veronika Kindred—co-authors of the upcoming book Sentient Design—about what it takes to design for this new frontier. Josh brings three decades of UX wisdom, while Veronika, a rising voice in the field (and, as it turns out, Josh's daughter), brings fresh perspective as part of the first generation of AI-native designers. Together, they offer a framework for designing interfaces that respond to context, intent, and user agency—without falling into the trap of chatbots-as-default. We dig into why chat interfaces might be holding us back, explore new experience patterns that go way beyond conversation, and discuss what it means to design systems where users can essentially draw their own interfaces into existence. We also tackle the thorny questions around trust, transparency, and what happens when we cede control back to users in ways that could make traditional designers uncomfortable.

One nation has stealthily adopted a leading position in remodeling digital casino interactions while the digital gambling realm speeds ahead in innovation - that nation is Ireland. Ireland has recently evolved into an emerging innovative technology center that uses mobile platforms to disrupt the gaming industry. Developing a new app or creating bonus-heavy games does not represent the main objective of this initiative. The advancement focuses on transforming mobile casino user engagements by starting from the smartphone screen interface. A New Standard for Design in Mobile Casino Experience Scroll, tap, swipe. Ireland has gained mastery in this current mobile gaming metabolic rate along with other select development groups worldwide. Mobile casino interfaces no longer replicate small sized desktop screens so users now can find updated interfaces. Modern technology development starts from a mobile perspective while organizations in Ireland create exceptional designs through their fusion of advanced technology and exceptional user understanding. The movement controls alongside one-hand operating methods come from Dublin-based development teams at the forefront. The user experience includes dynamic animated interfaces which automatically respond to users' actions in real time instead of using standard menu drop-downs and game lobbies. The slot machine system operates flawlessly through vertical orientation. The gambling feed in live video uses chat functionality alongside betting tools which operate without obscuring the screen display. The system evaluates each detail by running through repeated tests incorporating player comments together with A/B testing protocols. Direct UX focus serves both as strategic approach and as an aesthetic enhancement. Several Irish startups understand that users are devoting less time to each session leading to rising competition so anything that causes friction will make users leave. Mobile casinos developed by Irish startups remove small interface errors while crafting user-friendly platforms that both maintain user retention and generate user satisfaction. Intuitive Meets Intelligent: The Role of Adaptive Design Adaptive interfaces represent the leading technological innovation in mobile gambling across Ireland since they modify user interfaces instantaneously according to player habits and device types and timeframes. When users start their preferred casino application at night the interface directs them towards games within relaxing sound and minimal visual intensity settings. The interface welcomes back users by displaying new feature highlights that avoid cluttering the user interface screen. AI analytics drive adaptive interface development at Irish companies who view gaming as much more than game access but as a key element of state of mind and situations. Even small touches matter. The implementation of predictive asset streaming technology leads to faster loading times. Game recommendations today integrate both historical gameplay data and user-determined time-period preferences and held-device orientation settings. Gamification and Loyalty in a New Light Irish businesses lead the global advancement of gamification through genuine casual game design techniques which establish player connection. Modern platforms enable interactive loyalty experiences which duplicate gaming mechanics through avatar collection and perk leveling and the attainment of social awards for both game playing and feature exploration as well as safety practice. The shift demonstrates a general industry trend which marries emotional resonance with non-financial options. Users take part in digital realms through gameplay instead of limited gambling activity. Through their playful approach Irish developers manage to develop digital universes that display genuine human sensibility. A company based in Cork released an update which enabled players to give virtual cheers to their fellow casino players while streaming t...

An evolving technology is changing the lives of people with paralysis: brain-computer interfaces (BCI). These are devices that are implanted in the brain and record neural activity, then translate those signals into commands for a computer. This allows people to type, play computer games, and talk with others just by thinking, allowing more freedom to communicate.For decades, this technology has looked like a person controlling a cursor on a screen. But this work has advanced, and in a recent breakthrough, a person with paralysis in all four limbs was able to move a virtual quadcopter with extreme precision by thinking about moving it with their fingers.Another area of BCI research involves speech. Recent work has shown promise in allowing people with vocal paralysis to “speak” through a computer, using old recordings to recreate the person's voice from before their paralysis.Joining Host Flora Lichtman to discuss the state of this technology, and where it may be headed, are Dr. Matthew Willsey, assistant professor of neurosurgery and biomedical engineering at the University of Michigan, and Dr. Sergey Stavisky, assistant professor of neurosurgery and co-director of the Neuroprosthetics Lab at the University of California, Davis.Transcript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
