Brain-IT, the Israeli AI that reconstructs images from the brain and raises questions about dreams

TechnologyInternationalEl Universal (Cartagena)Nov 7, 2026, 12:51 AMAI summary

A team at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, led by Michal Irani, developed Brain-IT, an artificial intelligence program that reconstructs images from brain signals. The test was carried out with awake people looking at photographs inside an MRI scanner: the system generated an image similar to the one they were viewing without receiving the original photo. The researcher suggests something similar could one day be done with dreams, while warning about the privacy dilemmas it would raise.

AI model trained on Mexico's indigenous languages to broaden their tech presence
Several artificial intelligence firms are working on a language model trained with indigenous languages of Mexico, their developers announced during the México IA+ gathering. Jessica Peña, founder of Monarca Lab, said the goal is that communities "are not left behind." The model is in its training phase and results are expected within a year. Brazil's WideLabs, co-creator of the initiative, has already developed a similar model in Portuguese that public justice institutions in Brazil use in legal guidance applications.

Cyte, the firm that secures ACH Colombia, is already deploying post-quantum cryptography in seven countries
Cyte, a Colombian company with 30 years in information security that secures ACH Colombia, the entity through which electronic transfers between banks pass, has implemented post-quantum protection in seven countries. Its CEO, Milton Quiroga, warns that attackers are capturing encrypted information in transit to use it when quantum attack capability exists. According to Quiroga, many technology directors acknowledge the risk but do not know how to start, and he proposes beginning with an inventory of the cryptography each organization uses.

Barranquilla's Metropolitano stadium to get more than 300 AI-equipped cameras and 5G connectivity
Barranquilla's Roberto Meléndez Metropolitano stadium is preparing to reopen with a technology upgrade driven by Mayor Alejandro Char's administration. It will have more than 300 surveillance cameras, some of 61 megapixels, and a locally running generative AI processor to detect risk situations, distinguish people from vehicles, set virtual fences and generate automatic alerts. Networks will also be modernized with new 4G and 5G antennas and internal infrastructure with backup systems.

Tesla to end Cybertruck production as the EV market shifts toward smaller models
Tesla will end production of the Cybertruck at its Texas Gigafactory next year, according to WIRED. The electric pickup uses a 123-kilowatt-hour battery weighing around 1,600 pounds, comparable to that of Ford's F-150 Lightning, canceled late last year. The article says Cybertruck sales were weak and that the vehicle had several recalls. Meanwhile, automakers such as Ford, Slate and Rivian are announcing smaller EVs with smaller batteries.
