Microsoft files patent for AI that can alter what people say during live broadcasts
Microsoft filed a patent application for an AI system capable of identifying, removing, or replacing words in live broadcasts while adjusting the speaker's mouth movements to match edited audio. The technology could enable real-time translation, removal of filler words or slip-ups, profanity filtering, and viewer-specific customization for lectures, award ceremonies, sports, and live television. Microsoft plans to preserve original recordings as documentation. The patent status means the timeline and likelihood of commercial deployment remain uncertain.
