THINK TWICE BEFORE TAKING A SICK LEAVE – AI CAN NOW DETECT COLD FROM PERSON’S VOICE


What’s this issue? Already AI is bothering us a lot about employment opportunities.

Here’s comes a new invention from AI which detects cold from Human’s voice.

Researches at Sardar Vallabhai National Institute of Technology, Surat have developed a technology that can detect if a person has caught a cold from the tone of their voice.

Pankaj Warule, an electrical engineer, hypothesised that a cold could disrupt this regular pattern.

They placed these components into machine learning algorithms to determine who has cold.
