Meta's AI can now read your mind with 80% accuracy
INA - SOURCES
Meta's AI research team is getting closer to decoding human thoughts. The company, in collaboration with the Basque Center on Cognition, Brain, and Language, has developed an AI model capable of reconstructing sentences from brain activity with up to 80% accuracy.
The research relies on a non-invasive brain recording method and, according to the company, could pave the way for technology that helps people who have lost the ability to speak.
Unlike existing brain-computer interfaces that often require invasive implants, Meta's approach uses magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG). These techniques measure brain activity without surgery.
The AI model was trained on brain recordings from 35 volunteers as they typed sentences. When tested on new sentences, Meta claims it can accurately predict up to 80% of the characters typed using MEG data—at least twice as effective as EEG-based decoding.
This method still has limitations. MEG requires a magnetically shielded room, and participants must remain still for accurate readings. The technology has also only been tested on healthy individuals, so its effectiveness for those with brain injuries remains uncertain.
Beyond decoding thoughts into text, Meta's AI is also helping researchers understand how the brain turns ideas into language. The AI model analyzes MEG recordings, tracking brain activity at a millisecond level. It reveals how the brain transforms abstract thoughts into words, syllables, and even individual finger movements when typing.

The Iraqi Chemists Syndicate Reveals Details of Iraq's First Participation in the International Chemistry Olympiad
Baghdad – INA The Iraqi Chemists Syndicate revealed on Wednesday the details of Iraq's first participation in the 57th International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO), marking the country's first participation in this global scientific event after a 56-year absence. The head of the Iraqi Chemists Syndicate, Raghad Al-Ajili, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "After our success as a syndicate in hosting the 2023 Arab Chemistry Olympiad, a first for Iraq, I decided to participate in the 57th International Chemistry Olympiad. I was able to access information about the 56th International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) 2024, which was held in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia." She added, "Although registration was closed, I communicated with the organizing bodies through the support of the Iraqi Embassy in Riyadh, especially the Deputy Ambassador, Sadad Faiq, who played a pivotal role in conveying Iraq's voice. She was able to prepare and submit a comprehensive report including the mechanism for selecting outstanding students. This received the approval of the international jury, which granted Iraq a special exemption to participate in the Olympiad." Al-Ajili explained that "Iraq received three exemptions from the Higher Committee of the International Chemistry Olympiad and the jury, composed of 96 countries. These exemptions include direct participation without waiting two years, the inclusion of Iraqi professors in the scientific committee, and the granting of observer status to the Iraqi delegation." Al-Ajili concluded by saying, "I believe in the capabilities of our students, and we will work to raise Iraq's name high. Just as we were the cradle of chemistry through Jabir ibn Hayyan and the Babylonian scientist Tabuti, it is only natural that Iraq will return to the global scientific arena today with strength."

Sayyid Khamenei: Tehran Will Not Abandon Uranium Enrichment
Baghdad – INA The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Sayyid Ali Khamenei, affirmed on Wednesday that Tehran will not abandon uranium enrichment. In a speech marking the anniversary of the passing of the founder of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Sayyid Ruhollah Khomeini, monitored by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), Khamenei said: "The project proposed by the Americans completely contradicts the principle of 'We Can,' through which Imam Khomeini restored the Iranian people's self-confidence." He added, "The nuclear project is used to produce clean energy, and I hope specialists will explain its uses to the public." He continued, "Resistance means standing up to the will of the superpowers," noting that "nuclear technology will not be achieved without enrichment to produce reactor fuel, and we will not extend our hands to others." He explained: "Even if we had 100 nuclear reactors, they would be useless without our own production of nuclear fuel. Our insistence on obtaining 20% enriched uranium from abroad led us to produce it domestically." He added, "Thousands of nuclear experts and scientists are being targeted by the Americans, who want them unemployed," adding that "American leaders are proposing to disrupt projects in all fields and oppose Iran's development." He explained that "the U.S. administration is making many claims about dismantling the Iranian nuclear project." He pointed out that "the United States is an accomplice in the crimes committed in the Gaza Strip. What is happening in the Strip is a real crime, and security in the region cannot be achieved by relying on the Zionist entity," adding that "the Zionist entity is doomed, and its end will not take long.

Iraq to set up AI data center to support Arab countries
Baghdad ( – Iraq is working to establish an artificial intelligence center in Baghdad as part of a project serving Arab countries. The Prime Minister's Advisor for Artificial Intelligence Affairs, Diaa Al-Jumaili, revealed on Tuesday that the technical and organizational steps have already started and that a meeting with the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, will be held soon to finalize all of the discussions, as Iraq will be required to lay the groundwork for the center, according to the Iraqi News Agency (INA). The step follows the approval of the Iraqi Prime Minister and Arab leaders during the Arab Summit held recently in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, according to Al-Jumaili. The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) previously said that Iraq's digital transformation is critical to the country's digital business and artificial intelligence strategy. During his meeting last November with Deemah AlYahya, Secretary-General of the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO), Al-Sudani stressed that the government has included digital transformation into its economic and administrative reforms, as well as electronic payments. Al-Sudani emphasized the government's potential to make a big change in this area, as well as its willingness to collaborate with the DCO on initiatives that benefit Iraq and the region in the context of digital transformation and artificial intelligence. In March, Ali Al-Alaq, governor of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), disclosed that the government is working on a comprehensive digital transformation strategy. In a statement to INA, Al-Alaq highlighted that the government is following a plan aimed at transitioning to digital governance. He stated that Iraqi ministries would take a leading role since steps have already been taken, initiatives have been implemented, and a data center has been constructed.
