Researchers at the University of California have made advancements in Restoring Speech for people with brain injuries using artificial intelligence (AI). In a clinical trial, a participant diagnosed with locked-in syndrome, who had been unable to speak for 18 years, was able to have a conversation using an online avatar that spoke the phrases she was thinking. The technology, which converts brain signals into words, is still in the early stages but is seen as a significant development in improving communication for people with speech difficulties caused by brain injuries or conditions such as ALS.
