Neuralink ‘Blindsight’ Gets FDA Approval & Innosearch AI Brings Easier Online Shopping To Canada https://youtu.be/W0A6yaNVZFM
Today on the show, Steven and Shaun discuss the news that Elon Musk’s company Neuralink has had its Blindsight neural implant device approved for trials by the US FDA.
The guys discuss the reality of such devices and what they mean for blind people today, with Steven and Shaun sharing very different views on the topic. We also listen back to the announcement of the neural device back in 2022, which explains more about how the technology will potentially work.
Shaun also speaks to Patrick Long from Innosearch AI, who explains how they are using the latest artificial intelligence to create an easier shopping experience for blind people using the stores we know and love. The service is already available in the US and will be available in Canada this week, with other countries following soon.
