Neuralink implant patient gets ‘second pair of eyes’ thanks to motorized AI webcam

A new documentary featuring ALS patient Brad Smith has been published today. You may already know of Smith, as he was featured by Tom’s Hardware back in May after successfully using the Neuralink brain computer interface (BCI) to edit videos with added AI-voice narration. Now, Smith has teamed up with Insta360 to produce “a second pair of eyes.” Smith’s powerful 8-minute video documents both the practical and heart-warming benefits of movable AI camera technology for those afflicted by ALS. Having a second pair of eyes has been life-changing for this devoted husband and father’s experience of family life. ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease (in the U.S.), or Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in the UK. Scientists don’t know the cause of ALS, nor a cure. However, even with the best treatment, those afflicted can reach a stage where they are unable to eat or breathe.
