quote [ One 19-year-old patient spent six months with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome – formerly known as being in a vegetative state — after an accident caused a severe injury to his left temple.
Some of China’s best neurologists conducted four rounds of assessments on his potential for recovery and gave him seven out of 23 points on a coma recovery scale, a score which meant his family had a legal right to unplug his life support. After going through his brain scans, however, the computer gave him more than 20 points, close to the full score. ] Some positive news in the world of AI. I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords and may they keep us in a vegetative, dream state to use as batteries to power themselves with forever and ever, amen.
