Arnav Kapur, a Delhi-born graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), invented an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled device that allows humans and machines to communicate without verbally speaking.

According to MIT, Arnav has an extensive list of inventions, including a 3D printable drone, a platform to measure gene expressions at a large scale and a device that helps to rehabilitate the visually impaired.

“He has also worked on a lunar rover that is intended to land on the moon and relay pictures back to Earth. In addition, Arnav co-developed a new age art installation that has been on display at the Tate Modern in London and at the alt-AI conference in New York,” according to MIT.A clip of Kapur’s 2018 interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” recently went viral on social media.“You can be an expert in any subject. You have the entire internet in your head,” reporter Scott Pelley remarks in the clip.

The clip was reposted on Wealth’s Instagram account, where many users expressed fear of the new technology.“Protect your mind and inner thoughts, that is your only true freedom. DESTROY THIS,” one user said.“Now that literally has to be the most dangerous invention in this world’s history,” a user commented.
