Hassabis celebrates SL2T sign language model enabling direct signing to phones for first time
“SL2T is our amazing sign-language-to-text model allows users to sign directly to their phones for the first time. Built in close collaboration with the Deaf community, it’s a great example of the good that can be done with AI. Congrats to the team for the launch! https://t.co/BZ9wCtjpdy”
Hassabis argues that technology evolution requires partnership between technologists and curious practitioners.
“But if you look at how technologies like that evolved, it was really in partnership between technologists and filmmakers that were curious.”
Hassabis describes a collaborative brainstorming process to match AI capabilities with problems.
“So maybe we’ll build that together and then brainstorm, ‘Well, what if AI could do these things, then it would be suitable to address this other problem.’ And we’ve done that many, many times, very successfully,”
