Neuralink turns a thought into spoken words — patient's first sentence was 'I love you'

Neuralink demonstrated a major brain-computer interface milestone: decoding a patient's thoughts directly into synthesized speech. The first sentence the patient chose to say was "I love you." This marks a leap from cursor-based typing to real-time speech decoding, with major implications for restoring communication for people who have lost the ability to speak.
