A University of Washington team has developed an artificial intelligence system that lets a user wearing headphones look at a person speaking for three to five seconds to "enroll" them. The system, called "Target Speech Hearing," then cancels all other sounds in the environment and plays just the enrolled speaker's voice in real time even as the listener moves around in noisy places and no longer faces the speaker.
The team presented its findings May 14 in Honolulu at the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. The code for the proof-of-concept device is available for others to build on. The system is not commercially available.
"We tend to think of AI now as web-based chatbots that answer questions," said senior author Shyam Gollakota, a UW professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering. "But in this project, we develop AI to modify the auditory perception of anyone wearing headphones, given their preferences. With our devices you can now hear a single speaker clearly even if you are in a noisy environment with lots of other people talking."
I know for a fact that SOF forces have tech which allows them to go voice-to-skull without use of electronics on the receive side, allowing an operator to receive comms in a denied area. I reason to think this tech isn’t deployed already.
Makes me wonder how those targeted frequencies would affect the brain of the victim. Feels abusive physically as well as immoral. The govt is like an evil god.
it sounds like it just creates a vocal print based on the direction you face and then eliminates all other vocal prints, not "send frequencies" to the person you are spying on
Wait until you figure out what data AirPods are collecting on brainwaves

Hopefully it's better than autocorrect!
Rife with potential to frame people: "ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'll now play this recording, isolating and enhancing the suspect's voice so as to be heard through the crowd..."
