AI is a hot topic for good and bad reasons, and now new applications show what it can really do.

Artificial intelligence will make sure you no longer act up, as technology is now ready to tell if you are faking illness by reading the tone of your voice. That’s right, everything that’s great about AI also has its drawbacks, and this new feature has been developed to make sure people don’t get sick, but its reading that means you should lie about going to work. Will not be able to speak.

The system has been developed to help people detect if they have a cold, and it does this by analyzing your voice patterns.

As The Economist reports, the system comes from researchers at the Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology in Surat, Gujarat. The team was able to analyze the voice patterns of approximately 630 people and the AI ​​algorithm was able to detect chills in 111 of them.

You can say that AI using voice analysis is nothing new, but what is unique about this technology is that the machine learning was fed with data based on the harmonics that can be detected in the vocal when a person is speaking. known as rhythm.

And because the AI ​​was trained to detect speech, it was easily able to differentiate between people who really had a cold and those who were pretending to be sick. Now, imagine if this system were implemented by offices, people would have a hard time bunking the office, especially using the classic, “I’m sick, *cough-cough*” excuse.

To be fair, the researchers had a great idea behind working on this study, which helps people find out if they have a fever without going to the doctor. But another report from Business Insider hints that such a tool could be equally useful for companies as well.

ChatGPT has to be the biggest revolution in the AI ​​space this year, but every day we’re seeing new applications built on AI that look to solve problems despite a few chinks in the armor that certainly need a serious overhaul. Is.
