China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) on Monday approved the release of its third medical device standard for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), which is also the world’s first medical device product standard for BCIs that uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to process brain electrical signal data. The new standard will officially take effect on September 1, 2027, China Central Television (CCTV) reported on Monday.

To the contrary, the engineering discipline of software is rich and robust; it encompasses the full scope of software design, development, deployment, and practical use; and it has regularly assimilated radical new offerings from AI. Current AI innovations such as machine learning, large language models (LLMs) and generative AI will offer new opportun…

ALL LLMs are ultimately just autocomplete.  There is no thought, no creativity, no consciousness, no insight.  It's just autocomplete with infinite monkeys.  What turbocharged autocomplete can do is legit impressive, but it is still just turbocharged autocomplete.
