Using a BCI with LLM for enabling ALS patients to speak again with family

Vasco Pedro, CEO of Unbabel, introduced Halo, a revolutionary device that enables communication solely through thought by translating brain signals into words. While initially sounding like science fiction, Halo is already being used by beta customers, including patients with ALS and ‘locked-in’ syndrome. Thanks to a partnership with OpenAI, users can even speak in their own voice, creating emotional moments for families reunited with the power of communication. The goal is to scale Halo to amplify human capabilities and transform how we interact. Pedro is now searching for a visionary CEO to lead Halo’s growth into something truly extraordinary.
