In THE AGE OF AI, released as a YouTube original, Project Euphoria, which develops a voice AI assistant that understands and works with ALS patients’ pronunciations, comes out. This technique is also useful for ALS patients with weakened muscle strength, but on the other hand, it is useless for patients who cannot speak due to the progression of the disease.
Rolls-Royce research institute R²Data Labs is researching AI that allows ALS patients to communicate with Zuwing with their own voice even if they lose their words. It is an AI tool called Quips developed with the support of MND, Intel, and Microsoft of the Motor Neurological Disease Association.
This tool combines AI with a technology called voice-banking to acquire large volumes of voice samples without losing the ability of ALS and other MND patients to speak, and based on them, synthesize intonation and speech habits that resemble themselves. Make a voice
Although it is still in its infancy, it is said that it enables communication closer to real time than the existing conversation system. Qubs listens to the patient’s conversational partner, interprets the topic, and automatically suggests an alternative reply, allowing the patient to select it and answer with his or her own voice.
Rolls-Royce explained that Quips can change the conversation pattern according to the surrounding environment, such as work, home, or bar, and even use slang. We are hoping to provide it in an embedded form as a tool for patients to use for communication in the future, but we do not know when it will be. Related information can be found here .
