AI should be a tool that enhances lives without replacing anything that needs the human touch — and given then that there’s no tiny person that lives inside your headphones (as far as we know) who decides what noises are allowed through its virtual noise gate, we’d say that AI is a pretty good fit here.
So too, apparently, do some very important and clever researchers at the University of Washington who’ve decided to put their impressive AI research chops to improving the noise canceling in your headphones.
