In a groundbreaking development, a paralysed man from Long Island, US, has regained motion and feeling in his body after an 'AI-infused' surgery. The procedure involved connecting his brain to a computer through microelectrode implants.

Keith Thomas, 45, who was paralysed after a diving accident, is now being hailed as a 'pioneer' case for AI-infused surgeries. Experts at Manhasset’s Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research believe this breakthrough could potentially treat or cure diseases like blindness, deafness, ALS, seizures, cerebral palsy, and Parkinson’s.

"This is the first time a paralysed person is regaining movement and sensation by having their brain, body and spinal cord electronically linked together," said Chad Bouton, a professor at Feinstein’s Institute of Bioelectronic Medicine.

This remarkable achievement underscores the transformative potential of AI in healthcare. It's not just about creating businesses or technologies; it's about improving lives, making today's limitations tomorrow's innovations.

As we continue to explore the intersection of AI and healthcare, let's remember that the ultimate goal is to enhance the quality of life for individuals around the world.
