China will use AI anchor to help the deaf community enjoy the Games more

n Feb 4, the Beijing Winter Olympics will kick off. An AI TV anchor that has a good command of the sign language will live broadcast the events on a CCTV app, ensuring Chinese audience who have hearing difficulties can enjoy the Games.

The AI sign language anchor, supported by the world's largest sign language database with up to 200,000 pieces of data, is expected to provide "warmth" to the targeted audience with its up-to-the-second precise interpretation.

The database was developed by a team composed of top faculty members, and students with hearing difficulties from the Technical College for the Deaf at Tianjin University of Technology, the country's top college devoted to those with hearing difficulties.
