Using language to communicate is something many take for granted. However, a significant proportion of the UK population find spoken or written communication more difficult due to sensory, neural or linguistic challenges such as hearing loss, brain injury or language barriers, and can face substantial disadvantages in many aspects of their lives.

A new project, led by Matt Davis (MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge), aims to develop new AI methods to understand and address these challenges to improve equity and inclusion. It will develop new ways to support people with language and communication difficulties.

This video describes work on an ongoing project: “Improving Language Equity and Inclusion through AI” funded by AI@Cam

The work is not only based at the MRC CBU but also managed by the Cambridge Language Sciences Interdisciplinary Research Centre
