THE AI ANGLE
Recreating personalized voices from past audio recordings

Artificial intelligence tools can now rebuild lifelike vocal models using old recordings of patients with motor neuron diseases. These systems copy individual pitch, tone, and breathing habits better than traditional voice banking. This allows clinicians and speech therapists to restore personal identity, which leads some patients to alter their end-of-life medical directives.
