In this episode of Science Quickly, we meet Jakob Jordan, an
autistic performer with apraxia, who stars in the groundbreaking
opera Sensorium Ex. Host Rachel Feltman talks with Jordan, composer
Paola Prestini and New York University researcher Luke DuBois about
the custom artificial intelligence voice technology that helped
Jordan express himself in a way traditional speech devices can’t.
Together, they explore how AI can enhance, rather than replace,
human creativity and communication. Recommended Reading: More about
