Google's 'Lip Synch' Challenge To Teach Its AI Systems How We Speak

The Lip Synch challenge, recently introduced by Google's AI Experiment group, aims at teaching the tech giant's AI system the art of reading lips. This initiative is being executed to help Google develop applications for people with speaking disabilities, such as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Google plans to take assistance from professional singers to help their AI systems learn the skill of synchronisation. The platform is very self-descriptively named Lip Synch and is built by YouTube for Chrome on desktop. Lip Sync offers participants to sing a particular segment of the "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I, the only permissible sound bite accepted currently.
