Stablecoin -Emittent Tether promotes his AI initiatives with a focus on translating brain signals into speech.
In a post of 6 February on X, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino revealed that the Tether Data research and development team has built a plug -in electrocorticography (ECOG).
This technology interprets neural signals and forms the basis for communication of brain-text. Initial tests confirmed the ability to generate syllables from brain activity. The next step is the development of a model that can construct full sentences.
Tether’s AI models are intended to help individuals with speech disorders. Via ECOG implants, users can communicate digitally by converting brain signals into text. The models are also performed on Edge devices such as smartphones, so that data remain private.
According to Ardoino:
“These models will serve as a backbone for a future system that would allow someone who has lost speech and has an ECOG implant to speak digitally again.”
Last year, BlackRock Neurotech, a company that was supported by Tether, recovered the speech to a patient who had almost lost communication capacity.
Ardoino said that Brain-Computer interfaces (BCIS) can evolve into regular consumer products within two decades, which may offer life-changing solutions for those affected by paralysis and neurological disorders.
These initiatives are part of the growing involvement of Tether at AI. Earlier this week, the company introduced various AI-driven applications, including a Bitcoin wallet assistant, a translation tool and a speech assistant. These solutions give priority to user security and privacy by working directly on personal devices.

In addition to AI, Tether’s USDT Stablecoin has reached an important milestone. Ardoinino revealed that digital active now serves 400 million users in emerging markets, including Nigeria, Turkey, Thailand and Brazil.

“USDT reached 400 million users in emerging markets. Digital dollar and financial inclusion. “
