AI Headphones Allow Wearer to Listen to One Person within a Crowd

A team of researchers from the University of Washington’s Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering have designed an artificial intelligence system that allows its user to listen to a specific person in a crowd, if they have the headphones on. The system, dubbed Target Speech Hearing, enrolls a specific individual when the user looks at them for three to five seconds. Once this is done, the system blocks out all other sounds in the area and plays the voice of the enrolled speaker in real time. The system has been designed to work even when the user…
