Can artificial intelligence read minds? If so, how does that impact automated language translation? My answer: Artificial intelligence either can already read minds or potentially probably will be able to. Assuming the information in thoughts is translatable regardless of whatever language the person thinks in, the translation between humans may come faster. Humans are very visual creatures and language is fluid(always representing imagery in thoughts including extreme abstractions) thus, artificial intelligence translating one language to another could end the need for human language altogether, or maybe at least extremely facilitate translations.
