A stroke victim finds her voice with the help of Artificial Intelligence

Ann Johnson, a teacher, volleyball coach and mother, suffered a catastrophic stroke 18 years ago at the age of only 30. Today, she has found her voice again with the assistance of artificial intelligence. According to The New York Times, scientists implanted electrodes that decoded Mrs. Johnson’s brain signals as she thought sentences that she could not speak. The technology converted her brain signals into written and vocal language. The electronic voice mimicked her own voice recorded at a speech she made at her wedding just two years before she suffered the stroke. “It let me feel like I was a whole person again,” she wrote to a reporter for The Times.
