A chilling video featuring the faces of five Israeli women who were murdered by their husbands has gone viral in an eerie social media campaign that has brought them back to life after death. With artificial intelligence and animation capabilities from Israeli "creative reality" startup D-ID, the videos use the voice of each victim -- as well as realistic facial features and gestures -- to convey the message that someone living in the reality of domestic abuse can and should get out before its too late. The project, dubbed Listen To Our Voices, was created in response to a global and local surge in domestic violence since the start of the pandemic, and in honor of International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on November 25. With deep learning technology, AI startup, D-ID captured the faces, voices, and gestures of the late Michal Sela, the late Esther Aharonovitch, the late Marin Haj Yechieh, the late Esther Barhani, and the late Sagit Ozeri, as they described their own marital difficulties which led to verbal and physical abuse from their spouses. The five victims also encouraged other women who experience similar relationships to talk to experts who know how to deal with these situations.

Israeli researchers have developed AI-based technology they say could contribute to the development of a more effective screening tool for the early detection of suicidal tendencies and risks. The technology, based on the automatic text analysis of social network content, was detailed in research published in the academic journal Scientific Reports last month. The researchers created a system that combines machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) algorithims with theoretical and analytical tools from the realm of psychology and psychiatry, and uses layered neural networks. The tools developed by the group can be used as an early detection tool for those in the population at-risk of suicidal thoughts or inclinations. It is not limited to people already being treated for mental health issues, a study from both universities said.
