Artificial intelligence could spot early signs of schizophrenia

People in the early stages of schizophrenia have telltale verbal signs that could be spotted by speech analysis software, long before doctors notice. Those who are developing the condition tend to be vaguer in their speech and to use words related to voices and sounds, a study has found. People with schizophrenia have delusions and hallucinations, such as hearing voices, as well as confusion and memory problems.
