What if your brain could write its own captions, quietly, automatically, without a single muscle moving? That is the provocative promise behind “mind-captioning,” a new technique from Tomoyasu Horikawa at NTT Communication Science Laboratories in Japan (published paper).

At CEATEC 2025, NEC unveiled an excellent example of how generative AI can improve real-world safety. Its AI Driving Diagnosis system, demonstrated inside the company’s booth, turns ordinary dashcam footage into an intelligent conversation about how we drive—and how we could drive better. The concept might sound like another driver-monitoring gadget, but NEC’s approach is…

Yet within moments, that stillness began to shift. The walls breathed, shadows stretched, and through the…
T-Mobile has clarified its position regarding the future of its 4G LTE network after reports suggested that customers using LTE-only or early 5G Non-Standalone (5G NSA) phones would soon need to upgrade.
