    This is a replay of the session that took place on the Frontier Stage during the AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva, Switzerland from 8 to 11 July, 2025. Sending a message, speaking aloud, playing a game, or moving a prosthetic just by thinking. What once sounded like science fiction is now becoming reality, thanks to brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). These groundbreaking systems decode brain activity and, with the help of artificial intelligence, translate intentions into real-time actions. This creates a seamless connection between mind and machine.

    In this talk, we’ll explore how BCIs are transforming lives. From empowering people with disabilities to regain control, to enhancing how we learn, communicate, and even experience emotions, BCIs are reshaping what it means to interact with technology. BCIs are about connections as much as they are about control. Some systems can send signals back directly to the brain, opening new doors to boost cognition, regulate emotion, and reshape perception.

    Join me as we dive into the fascinating world of neurotechnology, where the boundaries between intention and action, and between human and machine, are rapidly disappearing. The future is being written by our minds.
