UCW faculty member wins prestigious award for research on AI and hearing loss
Dr Michele Vincenti, Chair of the MBA Department in Leadership & People Management at University Canada West, recently received a prestigious award for his groundbreaking research on the impact of AI in enhancing the lives of those with hearing loss.
This year’s ninth edition of the Tonino Accolla EUROMED Festival held in Tonino, Sicily, focused on voiceover art and post-production, providing an ideal forum for Dr Vincenti to present new technology designed to enhance the experience of those with auditory impairments.
Dr Vincenti’s presentation of the new technology at the EUROMED Festival earned him and his collaborators the Gold Archimedes Medal for scientific collaboration on the use of AI.
He said: “We have developed software that projects an AI-powered avatar onto a small screen embedded in a pair of glasses. The AI can then facilitate a live, sign language interpretation, whether that’s of dialogue in a film or even an ongoing lecture in a classroom.”
