Her husband stuck with her like a jewel. That couldn’t have been easy. She looks so loved and cared for. This will be wonderful for them. May she continue to get better.
Meanwhile this reminds me of another video where the husband lost his speech and cognitive functions and they had kids. She decided to get with another man but still take care of him from time to time. So fucked up
Locked in syndrome is the scariest and cruel ailment. You can see she is bright and totally tuned in. Some people would stop trying. Some families and caregivers would assume the patient has reduced cognitive function but that is clearly not so. She could be a great counselor.
some families just let their “loved ones” suffer. one girl went passed away because her family just thought she was too lazy to move (for twelve years) 🥺
The united states military is using technology and manpower to protect deviant sadistic pedophiles that are misusing their access to advanced tools to spy on, harass, molest, and rape children.This sometimes follows them into adulthood. Children that are still too young to know that what they are seeing is not normal are being exposed to disgusting deviant content that is forcefully shown to them by hacking their devices. Many victims may not even know they have been targeted by this, because the majority of the actual sexual abuse happens when they are drugged or asleep, the only reason they might know is because the perpetrator may leave behind physical evidence, like bruises, scratches, or semen. If a victim discovers what has happened to them these worms will misuse equipment and manpower to stalk, shame, mock, and generally try to make the lives of the people affected by this as hellish as possible both offline and online. They follow victims in person and try to intimidate or harass them. They generally use different people who act as though they aren't affiliated with each other and don't do anything they can be arrested for at the time of the harassment. They think they can shame and mock their victims into silence because some of what happens is coerced. These are depraved cowards that gather in groups to harass solitary women and children just to protect sexual abusers and rapists.
It is extremely scary, but this woman clearly does not have full-on locked in syndrome. She is able to move her head, so she can't speak but she still has ways to signal to others (she can signal yes-no, for example). People who are truly locked in cannot even move their eyes and have zero means of providing any kind of feedback on anything despite being fully aware and intact mentally. The worst nightmare I can imagine. However, devices like the ones shown in the video are starting to provide some means of communication also in such cases.
I saw a short "horror" film about an elderly couple. The wife had suffered a stroke some time ago, and the husband was losing patience as her caretaker. he started to neglect her. Left her in a cold shower, but she fought and fought to crawl to him. She said "I'm....here!!!" ...
To see these young scientists using their dedication and intellect to change lives like this is really heart warming. You're really making a difference guys.
let's just hope they don't sell this tech to a company where they will patent it and turn it into a highly profitable and exploitive form of healthcare similarly to insulin or therapy.
@@possibleproblem479The good news is even if they did, it wouldn’t really matter. AI is at a point where this level of tech isn’t that difficult to achieve in different ways (getting around specific parents, most of which are already patented and open-source). The required technology and data are mostly available to almost everybody. The difficult part is getting the hardware required, the funding, and a willing participant.
The “don’t make me laugh” in response to him being at the store for only an hour 😅 bless this woman for not only fighting but keeping her sense of humor intact ❤
To me, this is the true use for AI that should be focused on. Giving people their freedoms, voices and lives back through medical inventions like these. I'm so glad to see people get some abilities back they'd lost, or maybe even never had before. This is tech that progresses humanity and I think more funding should be put into it.
AI??? AI is a computer program. She literally has an electronic device connected to her brain receiving and transmitting brain signals!! Don't miss the trees for the forest!
I'd like to imagine so. I wouldn't mind a future where we're more integrated with tech, especially people like her and others who could benefit from more advanced cybernetic augmentations. @@MoZz..
@@lookupverazhou8599 Yes, using A.I. You do realize that A.I. is a broad term for a vast amount of systems and mechanisms, right? Not knocking you or anything, but this is quite literally a machine taking her electrical impulses and translating them using an A.I. algorithm to deduct the words, tone, pitch, emotion, all of that. And while it may not be perfect, or the most expressive, it's still an artificially intelligent algorithm. But I'm not an expert on this or anything, just an observation.
idk dude, the person said that this is good because now disabled people get to work. Like please, at least let the least fortunate of the bunch not suffer from wage slavery. At least leave them to their families and limited friends.
Only those with money. Just wait until capitalism gets its hand on this. With a worse possibility, people will start chopping their limbs off to get enchanced cyber limbs so they can over power others.
I have a friend who is disabled, he get a paycheck by his condition AND a wage for going to work, which makes him feel good for being usefull to society and capable to get what he wants by working. It's funny how you relate WORK with BAD THING @@charlix3
As the parent of a 10 yr old non-verbal child who has never learnt to speak I understand that this technology is not applicable to children like mine. But as someone who has spent countless times seeing the frustration in my son because he can't express himself, this made me cry I'm so happy for Anne and all others this technology will help to feel like whole people again, and have fulfilling lives, and to be heard and understood. Thank you so much 😢❤️
@@LifeOdysseyMotivation unfortunately it's true, this technology wouldn't be able to help someone who never learned to speak in the first place. the video mentioned the machine works by detecting the signals sent by her brain to her mouth. basically it reads her lips straight from her brain & converts those movement signals into the right words. for someone who doesn't know how to form those mouth shapes, like someone who has never spoken before, there wouldn't be any movement signal to pick up from. but maybe one day there will be a machine that can read signals from the language part of the brain to translate thought concepts into speech without the person having to know the exact words for what theyre thinking about or the right order for their words. i'm excited to see how this technology develops!
These are things AI voices should really be used for! We could just gather old clips of people's voices and use this exact tech to give them their actual voice back.

THIS. THIS is what ai, robots and technology should be used for! sending TONS of love to Ann, her family and her loved ones, and all the people involved to make this happen! ❤️ edit: not the people in the replies defending ai stealing art...
@@adzdrawssThis is not how ai art works. It works the same way as the brain of any artist, you look at the works of other artists, study them in detail and can create something new. There is no artist who can create something completely new. Or did you mean that Ai takes the work of artists? This is also not true artists will always exist, and this crying of artists because of the "loss" of their work and cope about the fact that there is no "soul" in machine art is already happening for the second time in history (cameras) but as you can see artists still exist.
I love to see things like this. My wife had a stroke at 32 (16 years ago). I feel like it stole our life. Seeing solutions like this, makes me happy. People don't realize what the stroke stole from my wife. I want nothing more for her than to have some quality of life back and made easier through these types of tools. Thank you!
@@jeanettecoleman-mz7ie I think people say it's great that I stuck by her because integrity is a lost art. She is still who she is despite her obvious physical paralysis from the stroke. I can't imagine everyone leaving me to rot in a bed by myself, if the roles were reversed. People don't want to stick around when the times get worse. If it isn't going to be bliss every second of the marriage, they leave. You are right.
As someone intimately familiar with the challenges of a stroke patient, let me just say this: God bless all those people who attempt to lessen the burden of the sick and the disabled. You are the true heroes👏👏👏
Agreed my dad had 2 aneurysms one of which blew in his 40's. My mother stayed with my dad and cared for him till he passed at 76 from AML. They truly loved each other. It's fantastic what these people are doing to make their lives more full.
I'm not sure if you know we are in the book of revelation, God tells us to not fall for the deception, not to partake in transhumanism, as you can lose your soul, God is the source of our healing not science. This is machine meshing with flesh, God warned us that they will mix iron with clay, and we are seeing this now, don't take the Mark as it's here, but neither take on his image.. I can't right much, I hope U can work out what I'm saying as my comments sometimes get erased. Trust in God to heal, sometimes he will use man, but not like this, not when they are messing with God's creation and it's unnatural and it may even have the ability to erase the God gene in your brain, they have already began this process thru other means since 2020, also certain lasers can whip the God gene on the brain, we are told to be diligent least you get swept away by this other God, the strong delusion.
I’m not saying in this case it is bad but as you say your a believer in God? Surely the elites will switch this into the Mark of the Beast. Chip in the hand and implant in the Brain. Then the can hack your brain and lock doors and freeze your bank account if you don’t comply with every rule. Free speech free choice will be a thing of the past. Elon musk and all the billionaires are part of a not so secret satanic cult. Sorry I won’t be doing that. I don’t care if they promise I can be a superhero and live forever, it’s a trap. Games like Deus X predict this dark dystopian future and the Bible predicted the chips and implants thousands of years before anything, the real only truth of past, present and future. My advice trust in God through Jesus Christ who was God in human form, not these billionaires. I’m not saying that in this case it is bad but it is tech that is leading to the mark of the beast system.
Well people get what they vote for.... if you vote for power hungry people you get war. Sadly it seems today most people just follow what they are told and think people ending war are dictators because the boob tube tells them so.......
The moment where she jokes with him about taking a while at the store made me smile and tear up. I do worry about advanced ai and what we humans will do with it, but it is heartwarming to see it used in these applications
I watched as he had that convo with her, and when she joked, he never smiled. He was just stoic. I would be so happy to be able to communicate more quickly and actually have a convo instead of using those glasses. But, while talking with her, not once did he smile?
@@Cadhlasta1his probably not happy of his wife. Most men leave when a women suffers from breast cancer, the risk are so HIGH. I didn't even know that was her husband he didn't care for her at all. Meanwhile whenever I see a man who became disable and his wife, the wife is actually happy. People only care about breast cancer cause it makes their accessories less shiny.
AI will be good. Don't worry. The world must advance rapidly. Before governments destroy the earth. Wars are primitive. AI may have answers for peace too.
As a student in neuroscience and artificial intelligence this video made me tear up, I'm so glad there's still people out there that give all they have to make the world a better place
As a daughter of someone who had a stroke when I was young this brings tears to my eyes 💜 Thankfully my mom still has her speech but half her body is paralyzed and I know they’re using amazing tech to restore people’s lives. AI is very scary to me in certain aspects but used in this way, it’s truly amazing! I hope one day she’ll be able to walk and move without pain and assistance. Thank you guys for all you do!
My grandmother caught polio at 2 years old and is paralyzed from the waist down. It's fascinating this kind of technology... one of my biggest fears is paralysis or amputation and I can't imagine how hard it is for these people. I wonder a lot how technology and science will be able to restore these part's of people's lives..
The kind of thing I wish I saw in headlines 3 months ago when this video was published, not something I stumble upon on my own. This deserves much more attention, and much more funding. I’m tired of things in the news making me sad, this really made me smile the whole way through ❤️
@@TheNamesMEthey said they wanted to advance her decision to become a counselor and help others. But that sounds like that’s Anne’s wish, not their wish for Anne. They just want her to be able to do what she wants to.
You are all being fooled and deceived. This is the mainstream media trying to convince you that brain implants and AI are necessary for us. They are normalising this so that you accept it in the dystopian future. DO NOT let them put an implant in you. If you're that stupid to allow it then you deserve what's coming to you. This is all about control, they want you to submit to them.
@@karlwithak. 😧 dude if SHE wants to work then theres no problem, lots of disabled people cant stand people treating them like incapable babies. This decision didnt came from the scientist so stop.
My father had a stroke 8 months ago. His speech is what got impacted. He still can’t speak but he is cognitively all there, thank god. Seeing engineering like this is truly remarkable. My heart goes out to everyone who is a caregiver and to everyone who has suffered a stroke.
Well I gotta say… the best part about this story is how genuinely happy this woman looks. Despite her situation, it appears she’s able to make the best of it and that makes me so glad for her.
This is not only REALLY cool, but REALLY amazing too! You can change people's entire lives with this! I'm so glad you've found a way to give them their voice again!
GUYS LISTEN! my mom is doing the same treatment and it seemed as nice as the video until i started to notice the look my moms face when the AI spoke after a while. I decided to use a visual alphabet so my mom could tell me what was wrong. The AI was speaking for itself and my mom felt trapped because it wasnt her talking. This is truly so evil
they are trying to turn us all into borg and you are lapping it up. you probably got tripple vaxxed too... and dont realise that the illuminati DEW'd hawaii with blue-lasers.
As an artist and someone just breaking into work life I am often so frightened by AI, but this is a beautiful reminder that even as it brings its many pitfalls to the table in other fields it has such potential to do good. I’m so happy for this woman that she has access to technology that can make her life easier.
A.I. is just another tool. It’s key to look at it this way, and to stay critical. Every time when a new technology was introduced, ppl were afraid of it. Back then, some ‘experts’ claimed trains are too fast and will drive people into madness. Stay positive.
I understand A.I can be scary as an artist. The best tip I can really say, as a developer is that A.I Art cannot be made without pieces to be trained on, or understand nuance & themes. A.I Art is Art without the soul. You will never be replaced.
If I'm not mistaken, I saw Anne in a previous documentary where they showed her using the slower machine which, at that time, was the most recent technology. Absolutely astounding they have created this. JUST WOW. As a fellow scientist who works with cancer cells in a lab, I often forget our work impacts actual people bc i never get to see it
Yes me too! I remember my high school Anatomy teacher (2016/17) made us watch the documentary. It’s impressive how much technology has advanced in such short period of time. I’m glad to have come across this update on YT.
This literally brought tears to my eyes. My grandfather had a stroke that robbed him of 15 years of his speech, spark, mobility, and ultimately his life. Having something like this would have been a miracle and would have allowed my children to get to know him the way I knew him.
I am happy she has a good man who has stood by her side. Happy to see an example in this world proving that there are still good people with good values and principles guiding their life and actions. I hope medicine helps her get as much back of her life as possible and them some more!
Can you blame people though for abandoning though it can be hard to love a person who can never speak. Just know it isn't easy to take love that far. But hey I agree more people who are compassionate is good. It's just you can't blame humans for being selfish we care about our own survival too. Sometimes it's hard to balance that.
@@monsterhunter445 I don't think anyone who hasn't been in the exact situation as whomever they're judging is allowed to judge them. There's so many factors playing for a someone to either stay with their partner or leave... to simply blame anyone for leaving their partner because their situation changed to drasticaly would be way too simple and naieve.
@@monsterhunter445 I wouldn't blame people for leaving, it's more that I applaud him for staying. Would I stay? I'd like to think that I would but it would not be easy and it would not be ideal. But leaving her would also be pretty devastating.
This brought tears to my eyes. Too often we see people with conditions like Ann and we forget that there is a person in that body that still feels and thinks. If they have the devices available to help them communicate, it helps them retain some of their independence. Seeing this technology at work and the smile on Ann's face, is definite confirmation of the positive impact it can bring to people.

As someone with a disability that effects my ability to speak, this is amazing. I'm so thankful that I can usually move enough to use a conventional AAC and a little sign language but I am aware that could change and some days is already very hard. One of my great fears is loosing the use of my arms/hands and I've always thought it must be so hard to deal with that. It's already frustrating enough sometimes for both me and others in my life to wait for me to type what I need to say. I think a lot of my communication would just be too much effort to bother for everyone involved if I had to use an even slower method like eye pointing. The way that this could not only make communicating important needs easier for people, but also make communicating easy enough to make it more feasible to just have a casual chat just makes me so happy. The people who dedicate their time and skills to creating ways to make life better for people with disabilities are truly wonderful human beings
I am so sorry for you. This is not pity, you got a voice and I am honestly lucky I can at the very least feel it through your text. Unlike most people on the internet, you type like you speak so I definitely "heard you". Stay well, please. The inconvenience, believe you me, is a blessing because at the very least everyone can feel you the same way I did.
@@chillaxboi2109 that's a really nice way of looking at it, thank you for pointing that out. You are right that there are good points to having to communicate this way. It does also give me time to consider a little more what I actually want to say and how I want to word things, and also helps me to weed out who genuinely cares to listen to what I have to say and who doesn't because people who aren't genuinely invested in it don't tend to have the patience to wait while I type or pause a conversation for long enough to let me contribute to it
@@gabeangel8104 I do wonder why you would not have the patience... I am a bit of a scatter brain myself and might forget stuff but if we are having a full blown conversation, I could not see myself looking away from you or the monitor. I pay lots of attention to people when they speak but I've seen people that converse differently still listen and be engaged no matter the many barriers, like language. So I truly wonder, who would be rude in such a situation? Why? Well, at least you found a positive way of seeing things. I do have to learn from you, one of my very own fears is being forgetten/forget people. But like I said, a bit of a scatterbrain so I might end up with dementia. It does make you think, so frail, so beautiful but all so... Similar. Once more, stay blessed. I hope you do.
@@chillaxboi2109 you seem like a lovely person. Some of the people in my life have the excuse of being neurodivergent (as I also am myself) so patience is harder for them, but some are also just kind of disrespectful and not all that nice. It gets to me less now than it used to. I mostly understand where their attitudes are coming from which helps me not to take it personally even when it's frustrating to be cut off from being able to communicate. I can certainly understand the fear of forgetting or being forgotten. I have a pretty appalling memory too. A couple of my relatives have suffered from dementia and it's such a cruel condition, the way it strips away so much of who a person is. I think the worst part must be when you're still with it enough to know your mental ability is declining and to be aware of how you are likely to end up. It must be terrifying. I hope that things don't end up going that way for you. Blessings to you also

Destroy creative things we use to express ourselves? Bro AI has done nothing but enhance the creativity of ppl. Its doing what humans have always done, create tools that simplify things. They also allow people that normally wouldn't be able to do something, to be able to do that thing.
This is wonderful to see as someone who is frequently worried by the future of AI. It’s a reminder that however bad it becomes, it’s still going to improve the lives of so many who deserve to have a voice. I’m looking forward to a future where disabled people’s lives can be vastly improved by this kind of technology.
This is fantastic. I can't imagine the pain of losing mobility and speech at the same time. It must feel so good to have a real conversation with someone again. Nice to see new technology being used in such a positive way.
There's a simpler method to communicate when someone has lost their ability to talk. No implants needed. Its called Eye Gaze, and its a system that has given thousands a way to communicate. There are videos on TH-cam.
I had cancer. Getting back the ability to drink water was great. I dropped too 110 pounds. Unable to eat at all. We are very thankful for over looked things. Her doctors gave her a lot. Many doctors are amazingly kind today. Great story.

I hope the lady can get a version of the AI that has her own voice. Using clips from home movies the AI could recreate her own voice almost perfectly. That would be nice but also surreal.
@@TehButterflyEffect It is by definition an AI trained to convert the neural thoughts into text and then into speech. Text to speech is technically "trained AI". Even if that's not what we think AI means from movies and stuff
@@TehButterflyEffecttechnically and contrary to modern belief AI doesn’t necessarily mean sentient AI it technically is just highly adaptable code that can change and improve itself through simulation. This is an AI just not a sentient one. And using voice cloning would make this revolutionary.
With how AI is able to replicate voices so well these days, they can gather every footage with her voice from years ago and potentially make an AI voice that feels more like its actually her. It would really help uplift their home's morale a bit more, I think using this tech with the AI voice they have now might get to them as time goes on.
She would certainly be seeking updates to continue to improve their quality of life. The amazing thing, it's software! click click update. How do you like your new voice? Incredible really.
AI voices are already surprisingly good, so I'm sure it could reach a point now with Metahuman style avatars and high-quality AI voice generation where a person's likeness in their prime could be pretty convincingly replicated.
I love to burst your bubble and tell you that this technology is not new. This is called voice banking and a company called cereproc Has been doing it for many years before Sheep like you got on the AI hype train period
That's actually where I figured this video was going to go before I actually got to the part where they explained the tech, and yeah, I would hope that in the future they may be able to do that, even when the speaker themselves isn't actually talking, but rather just attempting to talk by sending those signals to her muscles.
@@weseehowcommiegoogleis3770 That's basically with any invention. It takes time for things to improve to trickle down the cost, we're only now seeing this one in its early life so obviously most won't be able to afford it. For example, back in the day (earlier than you may think), video chat was exclusive to rich people, now anyone can access it even the working class. It took over half a century, but we got there. TVs, Phones, Refrigerators, Microwaves, medicine, treatments, you name it, it always started where only the rich can afford. Unless you're in a pandemic... suddenly everyone matters, but the rich still got it first.
@@weseehowcommiegoogleis3770 calling something that is attempting to restore a level of personal agency to a disabled person "crap" simply because it won't start off as inexpensive seems incredibly shortsighted, ignorant, and cruel. Most modern medicine was or is expensive before it becomes accessible. That doesn't make the tech bad, it just exposes flaws in the systems we use to provide it. Do you also call proesthetics and other mobility aids crap? How about glasses, eye surgeries, hearing aids, or cochlear implants? All of these aids were once inaccessible. Some of them still are to varying degrees. But continued development of them and improvement to varying systems that create and provide them have helped close the gap. It is foolish to think the same isn't possible for this tech if people continue to work on it.
This is so beautiful. I'm currently getting a master's in neuroscience and this makes me feel like what I'm doing is really worth it. I wish I can contribute to bettering people's lives like this team did. Hats off to them and to Anne for making this happen.

I’m a computer science major wanting to go into AI development. I used to want to make video games but this video made me realize the potential I have to help people with my degree after I’m finished. This is truly inspiring Edit: I love video games and wasn’t trying to talk down on game development. Much love to all the game devs out there. I know it’s not easy and you do impressive work
You can still work on videogames that can help people :'D Videogames do help with our reflexes, having puzzles, telling amazing stories, learning useful things like history or survival. A video game can help with being active, or think on strategies, there are some that use hand language And you know.. The world needs games that blind people could play! Being very rythmic have realistic ambient giving hints to help them understand the environment of the game :'3
As a video game developer, I’m happy for you and I’m excited to eventually see the change you’ll make in the world!! Us developers will try to make art to inspire and entertain incredible people like you! :) Thank you! Edit: Much love to you too, @not_parker! ❤️
This is historic. Thank you to these researchers for pushing us all to a better future and giving hope to many thousands. Thank you Ann for your bravery.
Giving hope, yet then exploiting you all in a very calculated manner. Preying on your emotions while hiding their true nature in plain sight. They know what makes you tick.

@@eleone8true. Plus all the hype right now is about "AI" so this title for a vid would quickly garner more views. And a small reminder to all the mindless-drones: there's no such thing as "AI."
Well, THIS is what AI was made for, something truly useful that'll literally change to the better and ease our lives! Especially for those that are in need!

I am a twin brother of a disable person. His disability could be like this woman's, or a bit worse, but I would die to try this at least once with my brother. I cried watching this.
I sometimes imagine how hard continuing life must be for someone with a disability such as this one. Him still being here speaks volumes to his strength, and your empathy for him is distinctly heartwarming. I wish you and your brother the best.
Please give your brother lots of love from me. I am in a very different situation, but my twin brother is autistic and has a very hard time communicating his feelings, so I can't imagine how hard it must be with you and your brother. Please remind him each and every day how loved he is.
@@pop4843 My brother as well sadly has worsened his condition this last year. Right after he got Covid his epilepsy had a sudden increase in frequency and he started taking pills for it (before we managed with valium when needed). He always had a hard time expressing emotions in a "simple" way, but after that his impulse control got through the roof... He started screaming (as he already did, but not as) loudly and constantly, expressing great anger or surreal laughter alternatively with no logic, or just trying to say things but with no control or without clarity. Both by himself, with me and my family, or with other people... He was another person before and I miss that. I wonder how an experiment like this could go with him, what words could be expressed. To have a proof he can communicate with me. I wouldn't care if the first words he expressed towards me were insults, I'd take them lol. I don't believe so much in the sentence "I cannot imagine how hard it can be". All I can say is that we both (you with your brother and I with mine) know how mentally and phisically taxing all of this can be.
@@pop4843my big brother has that autism too and could never rlly communicate. Im so curious if this would help him.. so amazing to see how far technology has come
@@daysnottime999men 🍺 Never marry a men they'll treat you like a toy and leave you when it's broken. Sorry sigma male enjoyer your the reason why women prefers to be single.
This is amazing. It's cool to see AI being used responsibly and for good things. I can't imagine how hard this was to execute. Thanks for working so hard to help people.
Can we appreciate the husband for being by her side all these years? The amount of patience, challenges, and love that requires is unreal. ❤ wish you, Anne, and the kids the best.
Nah he ain't happy at all. Doesn't even smile when she smiles, wasn't excited that he can finally communicate with her and doesn't even laugh at her joke. The man who created the Ai seems to be more happy that it help someone instead of the man that married that someone. The standard is so low that just being there is good enough. Wow you don't throw your wife like a broken toy? Good for you
This is absolutely amazing. Ann and her husband are both so strong to have made it through so much, and the researchers who've worked to give Ann her voice back should be given all the recognition and funding they need to continue advancing the technology so that more people like Ann will be able to actually talk to their loved ones again.
My brother had ALS. He never lost his ability to speak, but he used the eye-tracking software to do work (emails/documents) and also created music with it (He had lost his ability to play piano). His music was played at his funeral in 2020, and then at our father's funeral this year. It was so amazing!
As a speech and language therapist I'm truly amazed! My thesis was about the voice in people with ALS, I really hope in the future we'll be able to integrate technology to our everyday life as these scientists are aiming to do
This is so wonderful. I can't think of much worse than not being able to communicate. My 97 year old dad is 97 and has dementia, and I cannot communicate with hi anymore, and it is very discouraging. These young scientists are breaking barriers, and advancing speaking aids to a phenomenal level. They are going to change so many lives for the better. What a gift to give people. Thank you guys.
This has me misty eyed, what a huge feat for this team and what a wonderful moment this family got to have. I am from the same city as Ann and it’s so great to see that she was able to get access to this research while living somewhere that isn’t on the cutting edge of anything
So thankful that there are young researchers like this that have the compassion to build something for their fellow man/woman. I feel that it's a very uncommon mindset to have today.
2 Esdras 8:24-30 O hear the prayer of thy servant, and give ear to the petition of thy creature. For while I live I will speak, and so long as I have understanding I will answer. O look not upon the sins of thy people; but on them which serve thee in truth. Regard not the wicked inventions of the heathen, but the desire of those that keep thy testimonies in afflictions. Think not upon those that have walked feignedly before thee: but remember them, which according to thy will have known thy fear. Let it not be thy will to destroy them which have lived like beasts; but to look upon them that have clearly taught thy law. Take thou no indignation at them which are deemed worse than beasts; but love them that always put their trust in thy righteousness and glory.
@@georgehill3087 I do my best. But there's a barrage of it everywhere. Even when going out to dinner with the fam, some places have the news on. I appreciate the suggestion though.
First off, I have to admire the love she and her husband have for one another, that he’s stuck by her all these years even with her in such a condition. Second, props to these scientists for coming up with this technology! There are so many people out there that can’t communicate due to various reasons and they’re giving them the power of speech back. Truly amazing and wonderful!
Five years have passed since my mother suffered a stroke following a poorly executed surgery in Mexico. She didn't live long after that, and I wish this technology had existed back then to hear her final words. I applaud these brilliant individuals for the development of this technology, as they are not only restoring speech to these individuals but also happiness.
This made me cry such joyful tears. She can talk to everyone again in her own voice, her husband stuck by her this whole time. This is beautiful and this needs to be heavily funded for others who can't communicate.
My brother had a stroke this year at just 30 years old. Mentally he is fine and he retained all his cognitive functions, but he has little to no control over his muscles. The most he can do at the moment is shake his head slightly and move his wrists a short distance. This video gives me hope that one day technology and AI will be able to help him regain a somewhat normal life.
How can you prevent a stroke tho? Im only 18 rn and my grandma died a month after a stroke so I'm scared that even if I'm healthy i can get it. Was there a reason for your brothers stroke?
Wow this is incredible! And it's sad that Ann has went through the things that she has. Hopefully technology like this can help her as well as others led a full and happy life. Being able to communicate is apart of our everyday survival, this is definitely important work to be sure. :)
Everytime I see such milestones in science development I just cry. I am not disabled and I wish every person in the world to get as closest to it as possible. Thankfully to freaking amazing science we constantly move this line up. I just cry. You guys are doing absolutely priceless work. Thanks, thanks and again: thanks ❤
My uncle’s wife had ALS. It was terrible to watch her go like that. Thankfully she was able to communicate with rudimentary technologies. Great to see the advancements.
I'm a medical student and a lot of times it gets overwhelming and I don't think I can do it. I see things like these and it makes me think I can actually change someone's life for the better and I can't give that up.
You definitely can do it, I believe in you! My life was changed by modern medicine and some good doctors (*). I'm sure you can be one too. It's sorta funny, I had some pretty bad doctors and was on some _bad_ meds for a while, so I actually read so much about bipolar d/o & ADHD and various meds that I ended up deciding most of the changes (and a doctor listened). That research made me realize how cool the human body is, and now I'm applying to grad schools in biotech. (*) - I mean mood stabilizing meds. If I was born in '80 instead of '96 I would likely not be alive by my own hand.
You are an amazing person, everyone in comment talking about how the humanity will enhance people's life as it was something that just will happen. When in reality it will depends of the amazing people like you working and researching behind the scene.
@@antwan3163The brain implant makes communication efficient between any person she could talk to. There are a lot of uses for brain implants like the man who regained his ability to walk after a brain link. Funds that improve the quality of life overall is not really something you should make a competition out of.
Life changing or not, the common people cannot afford it because of our privatised Health Care system that only cares about profit thanks to our neoliberal Republicans that serves the establishment and not the people
I hope they can develop a non-intrusive version of this to monitor brain activity without having to do literal brain surgery, but even as it is this is remarkable.
My birth mother lost her ability to move and speak when I was young. She died when I was 15. Seeing Ann, I think back to the look in Mom's eyes and the way she'd squeeze my hand when I was taken to visit. I knew she had words, thoughts, feelings. If only this tech were available then. This type of research and work that you're doing is incredible. I will pray for your continued success and for opened doors to bring this to families like the one I come from. I pray that this tech be made available for all and not just the wealthy. I pray you stick with it when it gets hard and challenges to your work arise. Nothing is impossible with God. May HE bless the work of your hands. Thank you for your dedication and all the hours you've already put in. This is amazing.
This is something I can agree with, Theory is Wi-Fi is illegal to build into AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) because of hackers. Connectivity is good, but too much connectivity, like Wi-Fi built into humans and AGI, are bad for us.
Artists aren’t losing their jobs though. I get where you are coming from, and in many places in the creative process, certain types of people are getting cut out, but people still value “art” because it is human expression, and people will still pay attention to artists. If you would be so bold as to be optimistic with me, there is a possible future where people doing menial parts of the creative process are freed up to work on more meaningful things instead, like brainstorming. Plus, the creative process can be enjoyable, and I don’t think there are going to be musicians that just say “ai make a song with this melody” and be done with it, they enjoy making music because it is a challenge and a rewarding process, and ultimately that ties back into human expression and what makes art special
Bro this is literally only possible because of AI art. There was not enough motivation in the AI field till something useful finally came out of it, ai art. It was a huge step in the field and the funding rose 5x higher for it since the launch of AI art. Also it’s not stealing lmao every piece made is 100% unique, stop trying to be a Luddite and move on to the new age of technology.
If a creative person can make something amazing using AI software even if they're not artistically able like how singers, actors, paintors, etc are, they should be able to do it WITHOUT any consequences. If loyal fans stay loyal to their favorite artist, then those artist should not be afraid. and I'm here thinking that USA is the land of the FREE..
This is phenomenal! So many people could benefit from this tech. I've worked with a couple traumatic brain injury patients who would benefit from tech interfaces like this in a profoundly meaningful way. God speed to the engineers, surgeons and myriad other specialists making this possible! And of course the brave, courageous woman here who is the first!
As someone working in the language services field this is so incredibly moving to see how these amazing engineers, neurologists, speech pathologists, and researchers are utilizing AI to help people like Ann. I'm truly blow away by advances in medical an AI technology like this.
Very impressive. Happy for her to be able to especially speak with her husband & children. A big leap for the whole family to be able to interact more speedily & with such clarity. Congrats to all. Imagine how lucky being the very first person. She deserves this chance, with her whole life before her. So much to look forward to. More than she can imagine yet.
It's the people tackling this kind of challenge that remind me of something important: That as dangerous as all this new technology may be, it can also offer miracles to those who would otherwise be forced to suffer in silence.
That is just amazing and I wish the team and of course also Ann, the very very best. Thank you for making such things happen and possible. Keep it going ❤
He means duh ! ...AI should be used for certain circumstances to give better quality of life. BUT ! A l is going to be used for nefarious things. They are pretending to be all good for mankind but if you did a little research you'd find what its really intended for! When just to put it lately have scientists..government..pharmaceuticals or any of these 😂philanthropists 😂 helped the human race. Open your eyes look whats been going on ...your being gas lighted 😈
It's great to see how far we have come at improving communication for those who have dealt with strokes. I'm 24 and had a stroke about 2 years ago due to an AVM hemorrhage. I'm constantly thinking about how lucky I am, being able to walk and speak, even drive. The fact that I used to have to point at words and faces to communicate, and now can speak fully, amazes me. Truthfully, seeing things like this on youtube can terrify me to the core knowing that this could have (and very well should have) been me. I am glad that she is doing well with this new technology though, and I wish her the absolute best.
What an incredible gift, to give someone their voice back. I can’t image the emotions they must have been feeling having that first conversation. Communication is so important for people, to have our thoughts heard and understood. Bravo to the team developing this tech, this will change so many peoples lives for the better.
wow. Ann, you are so strong- and im so glad we can finally look to the future of improving communication for disabled people such as yourself thanks to UCSF. If not for your bravery, we could never imagine something such as this. Way to go everyone who has made this a possibility through hard work, dedication and compassion!!
My beautiful mum had a stroke at 26, i was only 7 months old and my sister was 7yrs old. She would have loved to see this video, to know she wasnt the only one to go through that. She became paralysed on one side, but she learned to do everything again because she was a warrior. We lost her 6wks ago to cancer, after a short 9 week battle. I miss her so so much 😢
Help make it available for pTiwnts and support neuro link. I am not a sponsor just a regular person. And my son is struggling. I wish they had an autism device for communication. Ty so much for this video.
If they have enough audio of her speaking before the accident, they might be able to resynthesize her voice to use for the avatar, I think that would honestly be the cherry on top of the already amazing cake.
My mom suffered from the same condition,, ALS. this just made me cry cause it would've been nice to be able to talk to her and understand her when she felt she was alone bc pf her disease.
I love the coincidence that she said something so similar in 1:01 and 2:46 , it’s a great demonstration of the power that language can hold, which she now has the opportunity to experience again! I hope this becomes a fully accessible resource soon!
It must be so hard being in a body that won't allow you to speak. To be around people and not have the chance to day what you want because the method you use takes too long has to be hard. People deserve so many good things. . I really hope things change to help give people their voices back!
Wow! It’s incredible to see how far technology has come! My dad also had a stroke, he was unable to communicate and was very frustrated when we didn’t understand him… This would’ve made his time here more enjoyable. I’m glad this can now be done for stroke survivors.
This made me so emotional. Watching her communicate with her loved ones and laugh and joke, was so overwhelming that I had to cry. I am so happy for her and her family! This is wonderful technology ❤️
The united states military is using technology and manpower to protect deviant sadistic pedophiles that are misusing their access to advanced tools to spy on, harass, molest, and rape children.This sometimes follows them into adulthood. Children that are still too young to know that what they are seeing is not normal are being exposed to disgusting deviant content that is forcefully shown to them by hacking their devices. Many victims may not even know they have been targeted by this, because the majority of the actual sexual abuse happens when they are drugged or asleep, the only reason they might know is because the perpetrator may leave behind physical evidence, like bruises, scratches, or semen. If a victim discovers what has happened to them these worms will misuse equipment and manpower to stalk, shame, mock, and generally try to make the lives of the people affected by this as hellish as possible both offline and online.

These are depraved cowards that gather in groups to harass solitary women and children just to protect sexual abusers and rapists.
Her husband stuck with her like a jewel. That couldn’t have been easy. She looks so loved and cared for. This will be wonderful for them. May she continue to get better.
Most people split up without this type of challenge. Sad.
It is indeed impressive, many men leave their wives after terminal diagnosis especially such tough ones like these, he is a gem and a great man.
The love between husband and wife is so beautiful, this breakthrough is such a blessing to them!!❤❤
Meanwhile this reminds me of another video where the husband lost his speech and cognitive functions and they had kids. She decided to get with another man but still take care of him from time to time. So fucked up
It’s usually women who leave and cheat. Men often stay by their wives
Locked in syndrome is the scariest and cruel ailment. You can see she is bright and totally tuned in. Some people would stop trying. Some families and caregivers would assume the patient has reduced cognitive function but that is clearly not so. She could be a great counselor.
some families just let their “loved ones” suffer. one girl went passed away because her family just thought she was too lazy to move (for twelve years) 🥺

It is extremely scary, but this woman clearly does not have full-on locked in syndrome. She is able to move her head, so she can't speak but she still has ways to signal to others (she can signal yes-no, for example). People who are truly locked in cannot even move their eyes and have zero means of providing any kind of feedback on anything despite being fully aware and intact mentally. The worst nightmare I can imagine. However, devices like the ones shown in the video are starting to provide some means of communication also in such cases.
I saw a short "horror" film about an elderly couple. The wife had suffered a stroke some time ago, and the husband was losing patience as her caretaker. he started to neglect her. Left her in a cold shower, but she fought and fought to crawl to him. She said "I'm....here!!!" ...
@@atrocious_pr0xythats scary, im glad she made it out of the shower. its such a sad situation, things like that happen all the time

To me, this is the true use for AI that should be focused on. Giving people their freedoms, voices and lives back through medical inventions like these. I'm so glad to see people get some abilities back they'd lost, or maybe even never had before. This is tech that progresses humanity and I think more funding should be put into it.
AI??? AI is a computer program. She literally has an electronic device connected to her brain receiving and transmitting brain signals!! Don't miss the trees for the forest!
some day better compute power will help with this, advancing the technology more and more.

@@lookupverazhou8599 Yes, using A.I. You do realize that A.I. is a broad term for a vast amount of systems and mechanisms, right?

@@LifeOdysseyMotivation unfortunately it's true, this technology wouldn't be able to help someone who never learned to speak in the first place. the video mentioned the machine works by detecting the signals sent by her brain to her mouth. basically it reads her lips straight from her brain & converts those movement signals into the right words. for someone who doesn't know how to form those mouth shapes, like someone who has never spoken before, there wouldn't be any movement signal to pick up from. but maybe one day there will be a machine that can read signals from the language part of the brain to translate thought concepts into speech without the person having to know the exact words for what theyre thinking about or the right order for their words. i'm excited to see how this technology develops!

Exactly!! This is GREAT use of AI!! Fantastic job to the scientists!!
i had the same thought! why steal real artists work when you can work on THIS!
@@adzdrawssThis is not how ai art works. It works the same way as the brain of any artist, you look at the works of other artists, study them in detail and can create something new. There is no artist who can create something completely new.
Or did you mean that Ai takes the work of artists? This is also not true artists will always exist, and this crying of artists because of the "loss" of their work and cope about the fact that there is no "soul" in machine art is already happening for the second time in history (cameras) but as you can see artists still exist.
I love to see things like this. My wife had a stroke at 32 (16 years ago). I feel like it stole our life. Seeing solutions like this, makes me happy.

You're a good man, Robert.
As someone intimately familiar with the challenges of a stroke patient, let me just say this: God bless all those people who attempt to lessen the burden of the sick and the disabled. You are the true heroes👏👏👏
Agreed my dad had 2 aneurysms one of which blew in his 40's. My mother stayed with my dad and cared for him till he passed at 76 from AML. They truly loved each other. It's fantastic what these people are doing to make their lives more full.
I'm not sure if you know we are in the book of revelation, God tells us to not fall for the deception, not to partake in transhumanism, as you can lose your soul, God is the source of our healing not science. This is machine meshing with flesh, God warned us that they will mix iron with clay, and we are seeing this now, don't take the Mark as it's here, but neither take on his image..
I can't right much, I hope U can work out what I'm saying as my comments sometimes get erased.
Trust in God to heal, sometimes he will use man, but not like this, not when they are messing with God's creation and it's unnatural and it may even have the ability to erase the God gene in your brain, they have already began this process thru other means since 2020, also certain lasers can whip the God gene on the brain, we are told to be diligent least you get swept away by this other God, the strong delusion.
I’m not saying in this case it is bad but as you say your a believer in God? Surely the elites will switch this into the Mark of the Beast. Chip in the hand and implant in the Brain. Then the can hack your brain and lock doors and freeze your bank account if you don’t comply with every rule. Free speech free choice will be a thing of the past. Elon musk and all the billionaires are part of a not so secret satanic cult. Sorry I won’t be doing that. I don’t care if they promise I can be a superhero and live forever, it’s a trap. Games like Deus X predict this dark dystopian future and the Bible predicted the chips and implants thousands of years before anything, the real only truth of past, present and future. My advice trust in God through Jesus Christ who was God in human form, not these billionaires. I’m not saying that in this case it is bad but it is tech that is leading to the mark of the beast system.
Well said ✌️
All I can say is don't take any potatoes chips.. I hope u can decode that :)
This is what humans should be like helping one another and not wars etc..

The moment where she jokes with him about taking a while at the store made me smile and tear up. I do worry about advanced ai and what we humans will do with it, but it is heartwarming to see it used in these applications
It will be scary. Sadly it won’t be used for good only...
I watched as he had that convo with her, and when she joked, he never smiled. He was just stoic. I would be so happy to be able to communicate more quickly and actually have a convo instead of using those glasses. But, while talking with her, not once did he smile?
It's nice to see it be used to help people like this it's just harmful when it's used to replace people like artists
@@Cadhlasta1his probably not happy of his wife. Most men leave when a women suffers from breast cancer, the risk are so HIGH. I didn't even know that was her husband he didn't care for her at all. Meanwhile whenever I see a man who became disable and his wife, the wife is actually happy. People only care about breast cancer cause it makes their accessories less shiny.
AI will be good. Don't worry. The world must advance rapidly. Before governments destroy the earth. Wars are primitive. AI may have answers for peace too.

As an artist and someone just breaking into work life I am often so frightened by AI, but this is a beautiful reminder that even as it brings its many pitfalls to the table in other fields it has such potential to do good. I’m so happy for this woman that she has access to technology that can make her life easier.
I completely agree with your sentiments. AI will cause so much damage but will also have some good.
Like many new technologies. Look at atomic research. It can fight cancer and power cities or it can give you cancer and obliterate whole cities
100%. AI can be dangerous and scary if used for the wrong purposes but these scientist are proving that AI can be a life changer
A.I. is just another tool. It’s key to look at it this way, and to stay critical. Every time when a new technology was introduced, ppl were afraid of it.
Back then, some ‘experts’ claimed trains are too fast and will drive people into madness. Stay positive.
I understand A.I can be scary as an artist. The best tip I can really say, as a developer is that A.I Art cannot be made without pieces to be trained on, or understand nuance & themes.
A.I Art is Art without the soul. You will never be replaced.
If I'm not mistaken, I saw Anne in a previous documentary where they showed her using the slower machine which, at that time, was the most recent technology. Absolutely astounding they have created this. JUST WOW. As a fellow scientist who works with cancer cells in a lab, I often forget our work impacts actual people bc i never get to see it
o7
(Means a salute to you for doing cancer research)
Yes me too! I remember my high school Anatomy teacher (2016/17) made us watch the documentary. It’s impressive how much technology has advanced in such short period of time. I’m glad to have come across this update on YT.
As a cancer patient, I appreciate your research. 🙏🏼
that looks so fun. i'm still in high school but i hope i become a scientist who works with cancer cells too!!

Can you blame people though for abandoning though it can be hard to love a person who can never speak. Just know it isn't easy to take love that far. But hey I agree more people who are compassionate is good. It's just you can't blame humans for being selfish we care about our own survival too. Sometimes it's hard to balance that.

This brought tears to my eyes. Too often we see people with conditions like Ann and we forget that there is a person in that body that still feels and thinks. If they have the devices available to help them communicate, it helps them retain some of their independence. Seeing this technology at work and the smile on Ann's face, is definite confirmation of the positive impact it can bring to people.

@@nc1246 I would love to see more technology on that. I know they've been using word buttons to help with basic communication.
I cried out of sheer joy on her behalf.
As someone with a disability that effects my ability to speak, this is amazing. I'm so thankful that I can usually move enough to use a conventional AAC and a little sign language but I am aware that could change and some days is already very hard.
One of my great fears is loosing the use of my arms/hands and I've always thought it must be so hard to deal with that. It's already frustrating enough sometimes for both me and others in my life to wait for me to type what I need to say. I think a lot of my communication would just be too much effort to bother for everyone involved if I had to use an even slower method like eye pointing.
The way that this could not only make communicating important needs easier for people, but also make communicating easy enough to make it more feasible to just have a casual chat just makes me so happy. The people who dedicate their time and skills to creating ways to make life better for people with disabilities are truly wonderful human beings
Giving people their voices back... literally! :D
I am so sorry for you. This is not pity, you got a voice and I am honestly lucky I can at the very least feel it through your text. Unlike most people on the internet, you type like you speak so I definitely "heard you". Stay well, please. The inconvenience, believe you me, is a blessing because at the very least everyone can feel you the same way I did.
@@chillaxboi2109 that's a really nice way of looking at it, thank you for pointing that out. You are right that there are good points to having to communicate this way. It does also give me time to consider a little more what I actually want to say and how I want to word things, and also helps me to weed out who genuinely cares to listen to what I have to say and who doesn't because people who aren't genuinely invested in it don't tend to have the patience to wait while I type or pause a conversation for long enough to let me contribute to it
@@gabeangel8104 I do wonder why you would not have the patience... I am a bit of a scatter brain myself and might forget stuff but if we are having a full blown conversation, I could not see myself looking away from you or the monitor. I pay lots of attention to people when they speak but I've seen people that converse differently still listen and be engaged no matter the many barriers, like language. So I truly wonder, who would be rude in such a situation? Why?
Well, at least you found a positive way of seeing things. I do have to learn from you, one of my very own fears is being forgetten/forget people. But like I said, a bit of a scatterbrain so I might end up with dementia. It does make you think, so frail, so beautiful but all so... Similar.
Once more, stay blessed. I hope you do.
@@chillaxboi2109 you seem like a lovely person.
Some of the people in my life have the excuse of being neurodivergent (as I also am myself) so patience is harder for them, but some are also just kind of disrespectful and not all that nice. It gets to me less now than it used to. I mostly understand where their attitudes are coming from which helps me not to take it personally even when it's frustrating to be cut off from being able to communicate.
I can certainly understand the fear of forgetting or being forgotten. I have a pretty appalling memory too. A couple of my relatives have suffered from dementia and it's such a cruel condition, the way it strips away so much of who a person is. I think the worst part must be when you're still with it enough to know your mental ability is declining and to be aware of how you are likely to end up. It must be terrifying. I hope that things don't end up going that way for you.
Blessings to you also
It’s good to see someone using AI to better someone’s life not destroy the creative thing humans use to express themselves

And a small reminder to all the mindless-drones: there's no such thing as "AI."

Well, THIS is what AI was made for, something truly useful that'll literally change to the better and ease our lives! Especially for those that are in need!
The united states military is using technology and manpower to protect deviant sadistic pedophiles that are misusing their access to advanced tools to spy on, harass, molest, and rape children.This sometimes follows them into adulthood. Children that are still too young to know that what they are seeing is not normal are being exposed to disgusting deviant content that is forcefully shown to them by hacking their devices. Many victims may not even know they have been targeted by this, because the majority of the actual sexual abuse happens when they are drugged or asleep, the only reason they might know is because the perpetrator may leave behind physical evidence, like bruises, scratches, or semen. If a victim discovers what has happened to them these worms will misuse equipment and manpower to stalk, shame, mock, and generally try to make the lives of the people affected by this as hellish as possible both offline and online. They follow victims in person and try to intimidate or harass them. They generally use different people who act as though they aren't affiliated with each other and don't do anything they can be arrested for at the time of the harassment. They think they can shame and mock their victims into silence because some of what happens is coerced. These are depraved cowards that gather in groups to harass solitary women and children just to protect sexual abusers and rapists.
I am a twin brother of a disable person. His disability could be like this woman's, or a bit worse, but I would die to try this at least once with my brother. I cried watching this.
God bless you and your brother ❤
I sometimes imagine how hard continuing life must be for someone with a disability such as this one. Him still being here speaks volumes to his strength, and your empathy for him is distinctly heartwarming. I wish you and your brother the best.
Please give your brother lots of love from me. I am in a very different situation, but my twin brother is autistic and has a very hard time communicating his feelings, so I can't imagine how hard it must be with you and your brother. Please remind him each and every day how loved he is.
@@pop4843 My brother as well sadly has worsened his condition this last year.
Right after he got Covid his epilepsy had a sudden increase in frequency and he started taking pills for it (before we managed with valium when needed). He always had a hard time expressing emotions in a "simple" way, but after that his impulse control got through the roof... He started screaming (as he already did, but not as) loudly and constantly, expressing great anger or surreal laughter alternatively with no logic, or just trying to say things but with no control or without clarity. Both by himself, with me and my family, or with other people...
He was another person before and I miss that. I wonder how an experiment like this could go with him, what words could be expressed. To have a proof he can communicate with me. I wouldn't care if the first words he expressed towards me were insults, I'd take them lol.
I don't believe so much in the sentence "I cannot imagine how hard it can be". All I can say is that we both (you with your brother and I with mine) know how mentally and phisically taxing all of this can be.
@@pop4843my big brother has that autism too and could never rlly communicate. Im so curious if this would help him.. so amazing to see how far technology has come
Amazing! Came here through Tim Ferriss. Thanks for all you are doing.💯

@@daysnottime999this is why women are refusing to get involved with males. GOOD
This is amazing. It's cool to see AI being used responsibly and for good things. I can't imagine how hard this was to execute. Thanks for working so hard to help people.
Can we appreciate the husband for being by her side all these years? The amount of patience, challenges, and love that requires is unreal.
❤ wish you, Anne, and the kids the best.
Yeah because a lot of times the men leave. Sorry but it's true. Her husband is a good human being and has my respect!
@@Lonsoleil don't say sorry, there's statistics on it. You aren't leaving them
Nah he ain't happy at all. Doesn't even smile when she smiles, wasn't excited that he can finally communicate with her and doesn't even laugh at her joke. The man who created the Ai seems to be more happy that it help someone instead of the man that married that someone. The standard is so low that just being there is good enough. Wow you don't throw your wife like a broken toy? Good for you

@@GreggyAck😂
As a wire that was connected to her skull i think they did a wonderful job
This is absolutely amazing. Ann and her husband are both so strong to have made it through so much, and the researchers who've worked to give Ann her voice back should be given all the recognition and funding they need to continue advancing the technology so that more people like Ann will be able to actually talk to their loved ones again.
My brother had ALS. He never lost his ability to speak, but he used the eye-tracking software to do work (emails/documents) and also created music with it (He had lost his ability to play piano). His music was played at his funeral in 2020, and then at our father's funeral this year. It was so amazing!
God...
This is incredible. Kudos to all the researchers involved in bringing this to life.
As a speech and language therapist I'm truly amazed! My thesis was about the voice in people with ALS, I really hope in the future we'll be able to integrate technology to our everyday life as these scientists are aiming to do
Support neuro link. I think he is the only one doing anything in this field.
This is so wonderful. I can't think of much worse than not being able to communicate. My 97 year old dad is 97 and has dementia, and I cannot communicate with hi anymore, and it is very discouraging. These young scientists are breaking barriers, and advancing speaking aids to a phenomenal level. They are going to change so many lives for the better. What a gift to give people. Thank you guys.
Hey there I’m sorry to hear about your dad. I’m sure that’s really difficult.

AGI Will be man's last invention
It’s already amazing. Just wait till they load it with your real voice. So many tears will flow because of this
This woman is my hero. I pray for her 100% recovery.
So thankful that there are young researchers like this that have the compassion to build something for their fellow man/woman. I feel that it's a very uncommon mindset to have today.
2 Esdras 8:24-30
O hear the prayer of thy servant, and give ear to the petition of thy creature. For while I live I will speak, and so long as I have understanding I will answer. O look not upon the sins of thy people; but on them which serve thee in truth. Regard not the wicked inventions of the heathen, but the desire of those that keep thy testimonies in afflictions. Think not upon those that have walked feignedly before thee: but remember them, which according to thy will have known thy fear. Let it not be thy will to destroy them which have lived like beasts; but to look upon them that have clearly taught thy law. Take thou no indignation at them which are deemed worse than beasts; but love them that always put their trust in thy righteousness and glory.
Tune away from political news and start watching technology based videos. Technological advancements on this scale are quite common.
@@georgehill3087 I do my best. But there's a barrage of it everywhere. Even when going out to dinner with the fam, some places have the news on. I appreciate the suggestion though.
@1:52 As an SLP who has worked with stroke patients, her laugh and happy face brought tears to my eyes. This is a future I want to believe in.
Incredible this deserves a billion views. amazing work.
First off, I have to admire the love she and her husband have for one another, that he’s stuck by her all these years even with her in such a condition. Second, props to these scientists for coming up with this technology! There are so many people out there that can’t communicate due to various reasons and they’re giving them the power of speech back. Truly amazing and wonderful!
Five years have passed since my mother suffered a stroke following a poorly executed surgery in Mexico. She didn't live long after that, and I wish this technology had existed back then to hear her final words. I applaud these brilliant individuals for the development of this technology, as they are not only restoring speech to these individuals but also happiness.
R.i.p hope you are doing ok❤
This made me cry such joyful tears. She can talk to everyone again in her own voice, her husband stuck by her this whole time. This is beautiful and this needs to be heavily funded for others who can't communicate.
Beautiful ! Hopefully this technology is further advanced, it can become an amazing tool
My brother had a stroke this year at just 30 years old. Mentally he is fine and he retained all his cognitive functions, but he has little to no control over his muscles. The most he can do at the moment is shake his head slightly and move his wrists a short distance. This video gives me hope that one day technology and AI will be able to help him regain a somewhat normal life.
How's he doing at the moment? Any improvements?
@@beyondobscure He can now lift his arms to a degree and is also able to move fingers a bit. He's moving forward, slow and steady
That's good to hear. It must be hell trapped in your own body like that. It's my worst fear. @@IzanamiNoMikotoo
How can you prevent a stroke tho? Im only 18 rn and my grandma died a month after a stroke so I'm scared that even if I'm healthy i can get it. Was there a reason for your brothers stroke?
AFAIK you try prevent high blood pressure and clotting@@psychowarrior5752
Wonderful to see this. Cannot imagine how frustrating it must be to feel trapped in your body and unable to freely communicate.
This guy is incredible for sticking with her and the device is so wonderful. Glad we can help people this way.
Wow this is incredible! And it's sad that Ann has went through the things that she has. Hopefully technology like this can help her as well as others led a full and happy life. Being able to communicate is apart of our everyday survival, this is definitely important work to be sure. :)
Everytime I see such milestones in science development I just cry. I am not disabled and I wish every person in the world to get as closest to it as possible. Thankfully to freaking amazing science we constantly move this line up. I just cry. You guys are doing absolutely priceless work. Thanks, thanks and again: thanks ❤
My uncle’s wife had ALS. It was terrible to watch her go like that. Thankfully she was able to communicate with rudimentary technologies. Great to see the advancements.
I'm a medical student and a lot of times it gets overwhelming and I don't think I can do it. I see things like these and it makes me think I can actually change someone's life for the better and I can't give that up.
You definitely can do it, I believe in you!
My life was changed by modern medicine and some good doctors (*). I'm sure you can be one too.
It's sorta funny, I had some pretty bad doctors and was on some _bad_ meds for a while, so I actually read so much about bipolar d/o & ADHD and various meds that I ended up deciding most of the changes (and a doctor listened). That research made me realize how cool the human body is, and now I'm applying to grad schools in biotech.
(*) - I mean mood stabilizing meds. If I was born in '80 instead of '96 I would likely not be alive by my own hand.
Don't give up brother. We need you
Medical students get indoctrinated into a corrupt Healthcare system... these are researchers and PhDs.
Source: I was also a medical student
Keep pushing man you can do it. We need good people in the medical field. May you be blessed brother!
You are an amazing person, everyone in comment talking about how the humanity will enhance people's life as it was something that just will happen. When in reality it will depends of the amazing people like you working and researching behind the scene.
As a registered nurse and a behavior analyst, this would be a life changer for many of my patients.❤.
Just incredible 🌸
Finding the cure would be a 1000 times better.
@@antwan3163The brain implant makes communication efficient between any person she could talk to. There are a lot of uses for brain implants like the man who regained his ability to walk after a brain link. Funds that improve the quality of life overall is not really something you should make a competition out of.
It’s not life changing if the whole health care is still privatised/neoliberalised.
Life changing or not, the common people cannot afford it because of our privatised Health Care system that only cares about profit thanks to our neoliberal Republicans that serves the establishment and not the people
I hope they can develop a non-intrusive version of this to monitor brain activity without having to do literal brain surgery, but even as it is this is remarkable.
Her husband stood by her side through this. ❤ Amazing couple and amazing science technology to help them move forward ❤❤❤
My birth mother lost her ability to move and speak when I was young. She died when I was 15. Seeing Ann, I think back to the look in Mom's eyes and the way she'd squeeze my hand when I was taken to visit. I knew she had words, thoughts, feelings. If only this tech were available then.
This type of research and work that you're doing is incredible. I will pray for your continued success and for opened doors to bring this to families like the one I come from. I pray that this tech be made available for all and not just the wealthy. I pray you stick with it when it gets hard and challenges to your work arise. Nothing is impossible with God.
May HE bless the work of your hands. Thank you for your dedication and all the hours you've already put in. This is amazing.
Warms me up to see all this people working towards this kind of goals. As a parent of a kid with CP, stuff likes this keeps my hopes up.
This is how Ai should be used, not replacing artists and making them lose their jobs.
This is something I can agree with, Theory is Wi-Fi is illegal to build into AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) because of hackers. Connectivity is good, but too much connectivity, like Wi-Fi built into humans and AGI, are bad for us.
Couldn't agree more
Artists aren’t losing their jobs though. I get where you are coming from, and in many places in the creative process, certain types of people are getting cut out, but people still value “art” because it is human expression, and people will still pay attention to artists. If you would be so bold as to be optimistic with me, there is a possible future where people doing menial parts of the creative process are freed up to work on more meaningful things instead, like brainstorming. Plus, the creative process can be enjoyable, and I don’t think there are going to be musicians that just say “ai make a song with this melody” and be done with it, they enjoy making music because it is a challenge and a rewarding process, and ultimately that ties back into human expression and what makes art special
Bro this is literally only possible because of AI art. There was not enough motivation in the AI field till something useful finally came out of it, ai art. It was a huge step in the field and the funding rose 5x higher for it since the launch of AI art. Also it’s not stealing lmao every piece made is 100% unique, stop trying to be a Luddite and move on to the new age of technology.
If a creative person can make something amazing using AI software even if they're not artistically able like how singers, actors, paintors, etc are, they should be able to do it WITHOUT any consequences.
If loyal fans stay loyal to their favorite artist, then those artist should not be afraid.
and I'm here thinking that USA is the land of the FREE..
This is phenomenal! So many people could benefit from this tech. I've worked with a couple traumatic brain injury patients who would benefit from tech interfaces like this in a profoundly meaningful way. God speed to the engineers, surgeons and myriad other specialists making this possible! And of course the brave, courageous woman here who is the first!

The way her humor is still so perfectly intact despite her condition, I love this lady!
Very impressive. Happy for her to be able to especially speak with her husband & children. A big leap for the whole family to be able to interact more speedily & with such clarity. Congrats to all. Imagine how lucky being the very first person. She deserves this chance, with her whole life before her. So much to look forward to. More than she can imagine yet.
Her sparkling up, is priceless.
It's the people tackling this kind of challenge that remind me of something important: That as dangerous as all this new technology may be, it can also offer miracles to those who would otherwise be forced to suffer in silence.
so it is with all technology. tech is neither good nor bad, its how its used and what its used for that matters
That is just amazing and I wish the team and of course also Ann, the very very best. Thank you for making such things happen and possible. Keep it going ❤
I was really afraid of AI, but if this is the route it's going I have no fears and am now in awe. Wonderful!

When just to put it lately have scientists..government..pharmaceuticals or any of these 😂philanthropists 😂 helped the human race. Open your eyes look whats been going on ...your being gas lighted 😈
there are pro and cons.
It's great to see how far we have come at improving communication for those who have dealt with strokes. I'm 24 and had a stroke about 2 years ago due to an AVM hemorrhage. I'm constantly thinking about how lucky I am, being able to walk and speak, even drive. The fact that I used to have to point at words and faces to communicate, and now can speak fully, amazes me. Truthfully, seeing things like this on youtube can terrify me to the core knowing that this could have (and very well should have) been me. I am glad that she is doing well with this new technology though, and I wish her the absolute best.
What an incredible gift, to give someone their voice back. I can’t image the emotions they must have been feeling having that first conversation. Communication is so important for people, to have our thoughts heard and understood. Bravo to the team developing this tech, this will change so many peoples lives for the better.
THIS is what ai should be intended for. To help people in need, and as a tool to help people better themselves. Not for art
wow. Ann, you are so strong- and im so glad we can finally look to the future of improving communication for disabled people such as yourself thanks to UCSF. If not for your bravery, we could never imagine something such as this. Way to go everyone who has made this a possibility through hard work, dedication and compassion!!
My beautiful mum had a stroke at 26, i was only 7 months old and my sister was 7yrs old. She would have loved to see this video, to know she wasnt the only one to go through that. She became paralysed on one side, but she learned to do everything again because she was a warrior. We lost her 6wks ago to cancer, after a short 9 week battle. I miss her so so much 😢
😢 I’m sorry
My mom died of cancer too. Her 2 year death anniversary just passed a few days ago. I miss her so much.

So sorry for ur loss
So sorry for your loss 🙏🏻
If they have enough audio of her speaking before the accident, they might be able to resynthesize her voice to use for the avatar, I think that would honestly be the cherry on top of the already amazing cake.
I can't recall if it was mentioned in the video but her avatar's voice is constructed from her wedding video!
My mom suffered from the same condition,, ALS. this just made me cry cause it would've been nice to be able to talk to her and understand her when she felt she was alone bc pf her disease.
I love the coincidence that she said something so similar in 1:01 and 2:46 , it’s a great demonstration of the power that language can hold, which she now has the opportunity to experience again! I hope this becomes a fully accessible resource soon!
wow this wrecked me
It must be so hard being in a body that won't allow you to speak. To be around people and not have the chance to day what you want because the method you use takes too long has to be hard. People deserve so many good things. . I really hope things change to help give people their voices back!

Wow! It’s incredible to see how far technology has come! My dad also had a stroke, he was unable to communicate and was very frustrated when we didn’t understand him… This would’ve made his time here more enjoyable. I’m glad this can now be done for stroke survivors.
