Exploring AI Empathy: Teaching AI with Brain Signals
Podcast episode with Thorsten Zander, professor at Brandenburg University of Technology and co-founder of Zander Labs. He coined the concept of *passive brain-computer interfaces*: devices that read brain signals to decode a user's mental state, non-invasively and without any effort on their part. Covers: * What non-invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can actually pick up from brain signals, and why that's very different from reading your thoughts or internal monologue * The hardware and software breakthroughs that are finally making passive BCIs wearable and affordable * How continuous neural feedback could dramatically improve AI training compared to current methods based on human ratings * Why Thorsten believes passive BCIs may offer the most concrete path to solving the AI alignment problem * The risk of social networks exploiting unconscious brain reactions to manipulate people, and why regulation alone is unlikely to be enough
