Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco have developed a groundbreaking bilingual brain implant that uses Artificial Intelligence to help a stroke survivor communicate in both Spanish and English. The implant, part of a neural prosthetic device, was tested on a man named Pancho, who suffered a severe stroke at 20, leaving him paralyzed and unable to speak clearly. After years of research, the device can now decode Pancho's brain activity into sentences in both languages, allowing him to participate in conversations and switch between languages as he prefers.
