This year we are also getting an indication of how powerful thousands of websites, software, tools, even humanoid robots powered by AI can be. He has already done an incredible job in AI, which can bring about a huge revolution in the field of health around the world. A paralyzed man walked because of artificial intelligence and a group of Swiss scientists.
A man named Gert-Jan Oskam was paralyzed from waist to toe. He has been in this position since 2011. European scientists have been researching and testing if AI can be used to improve a person's health. Oskam finally regained his ability to walk after almost 12 years.
This modern technology developed by AI er revived the connection between the brain and the spinal cord due to the two implants in the man's brain. In an interview with AFP, Oskam said, " the doctors told me clean on my face, in no way can they help. I could move my arms. The doctors told me to be happy. I never thought I could walk again.”
Researchers in France and Switzerland created a digital bridge between Oskam's brain and spinal cord. And they found a new way to do it. This bridge bypassed all the injured parts of Oskam's body and allowed him to walk again. He was paralyzed in a bicycle accident in 2011. The breakthrough came after more than 10 years of hard work, scientists said.
According to Gregoire Courtin, a neuroscientist with the team, they were able to restore communication between the brain and spinal cord by building a digital bridge. This approach has in fact transformed Oskam's thinking into action. This was made possible by implanting a region of the brain, which normally controls the leg muscles. The implants actually activate the leg muscles by capturing the person's thoughts and converting them into electrical activity for the spine.
The scientists said their ultimate goal was to keep Oskam active and improve his quality of life. They said that for the time being, Oskam cannot walk normally like most of us. Artificial intelligence is gradually being deployed in every moment of our daily lives. We have already received an indication of how powerful AI can be through a chatbot called ChatGPT. After the creation of OpenAI, all the tech giants of the world have been busy creating their own AI.
