00:00series life upgraded how ai is transforming medicine
00:06episode 2 ai powered prosthetics that move with the mind
00:12imagine losing a limb and then regaining the ability to move it not with buttons not with
00:20wires but with just your thoughts this isn't science fiction anymore this is now
00:26for centuries prosthetics were static wooden legs metal hooks they gave form but not function
00:35but today ai is merging with neuroscience to create prosthetic limbs that can sense
00:41respond and even learn yes limbs that move with the mind
00:45the technology
00:48at the heart of this revolution is the brain and machine interface
00:54tiny sensors pick up signals from your brain or residual nerves
00:59ai decodes those signals turning thoughts like a move my fingers into real-time motion
01:04it's the ultimate collaboration between biology and artificial intelligence
01:09meet alex at age six he lost his right arm in a car accident
01:17for years he struggled with basic tasks until he became one of the youngest participants in
01:23an ai prosthetic clinical trial today alex can tie his shoes draw pictures and even play video
01:29games all thanks to his thoughts
01:34how it works deeper dive
01:39ai plays a key role by learning how each individual's brain speaks
01:43over time it gets better at predicting intention even adapting to emotions or stress that means
01:50smoother more accurate movements some systems even give sensory feedback allowing users to feel pressure
01:56or texture
02:00the global landscape
02:04from boston to tokyo to nairobi ai powered prosthetics are changing lives
02:08neural link open bionics officer these companies are pushing the boundaries of what's possible
02:15and with 3d printing these solutions are becoming faster and more affordable
02:19the bigger picture
02:23this isn't just about robotics it's about restoring dignity independence and joy
02:30it's about a little girl brushing her hair again a soldier writing his name for the first time in years
02:37it's about hope powered by ai
02:41what's next
02:45in our next episode we explore how ai is becoming your next mental health ally from emotion sensing wearables to therapy chatbots that listen like humans
