AI is helping him make a comeback.
Date: January 8, 2025Source: The Associated PressWhen a renowned Israeli TV journalist lost his ability to speak clearly due to ALS, he thought his career might be over. But now, using AI software that can recreate his gravelly voice, Moshe Nussbaum is making a comeback. Nussbaum, 71, was diagnosed two years ago with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Despite his progressive condition, he continued working until it became increasingly difficult to speak. Channel 12 announced that Nussbaum will return to the air as a commentator using AI technology. The AI program has been trained to mimic Nussbaum's voice, allowing him to report and write stories while his lips are 'technologically adjusted' to match the words. Nussbaum is thrilled but also concerned about the potential misuse of AI technology for spreading fake news.Link: https://techxplore.com/news/2025-01-als-sidelined-israeli-tv-journalist.htmlDangerous road in Devon to get £1m for speed cameras and AI
