Microsoft files patent for AI that can alter what people say during live broadcasts

Microsoft has filed a patent application for an AI technology that can modify spoken words during live broadcasts. The system automatically identifies speech and can remove or replace words, while also adjusting the speaker's mouth movements to match the edited audio. According to Microsoft, potential uses include translating live broadcasts into other languages, removing filler words, and correcting slip-ups. The technology could also be customized to individual viewers' preferences, such as filtering out profanity or offensive language. Microsoft suggests applications for lectures, award ceremonies, sporting events, and live TV programs, and notes that original recordings can be saved for documentation. As it is only a patent application, it remains uncertain whether or when Microsoft will launch the technology.
