What AI says about Alter Ego
AlterEgo is a non-invasive wearable peripheral neural interface that enables natural-language conversation with machines, AI assistants, services, and other people using internal articulation rather than spoken words, with no visible movements. Feedback is delivered via bone-conduction audio in a closed-loop system, so users hear the interface without disrupting their normal hearing. The project aims to assist people with speech disorders (e.g., ALS, MS) and envisions computing as a 'second self' integrated into daily life; it originated at MIT Media Lab in 2018 and later spun off as a for-profit company in 2025.
