Cool Innovation #0018. Are you worried because the tech giants — Facebook, Google, Apple….- are spying on us? Pretty soon wearables will read your mind and predict what you are going to say. Fascinating and scary, isn´t it?

The Alter Ego, a wearable being developed at MIT’s Media Lab knows what its wearer is going to say before any sound is made.

Every one of us has an internal monologue of sorts, a place where our most intimate thoughts come and go as they please. Now, thanks to sophisticated sensors and the power of machine learning, the act of saying words in your head might not be so private after all.

MIT believes that the simple act of concentrating on a particular vocalisation is enough to engage the system and receive a response, and it has developed an experimental prototype that appears to prove it.
