Google DeepMind has unveiled a new AI system that could change how Deaf and hard-of-hearing people interact with their phones. SL2T, short for sign-language-to-text, can convert sign language into text and is coming first to Pixel 11. The model will power new features in Gboard and Live Transcribe, allowing users to sign in places where they would normally type. Google says the first supported language pair will be American Sign Language (ASL) to English, with more languages and devices planned.SL2T is designed to understand more than individual hand gestures. Sign language also relies on movement, facial expressions and other parts of the body, making it much harder for AI to interpret than a simple gesture-recognition system. Do you think that special AI is completing the cycle of needless humans ?
