Throughout this journey, he has emphasized the importance of not being pitied and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to reinvent himself through the use of technology.

Renowned Israeli journalist Moshe Nussbaum, who was diagnosed with ALS two years ago, is preparing to return to broadcasting with the aid of AI technology that replicates his voice.

However, the current AI technology is not suitable for live broadcasts, which means Nussbaum will focus on commentary and analysis, particularly in crime and national security.

Nussbaum describes this technology as a 'magic trick' that allows him to reinvent himself and continue his career despite his condition, which he believes is crucial for raising awareness about the capabilities of people with disabilities.

This AI technology utilizes extensive recordings of Nussbaum's voice, enabling it to capture his unique intonations and phrasing, which starkly contrasts with traditional text-to-speech systems.

At 71 years old, Nussbaum has had a distinguished career spanning over 40 years, covering significant events in Israel, including wars and political scandals, but faced challenges reporting during the recent conflict following Hamas' attack on October 7, 2023.

Despite his challenges, he managed to conduct interviews with injured soldiers during the war, although his ability to communicate diminished over time.

While experts have raised concerns about the potential misuse of AI voice cloning for scams and misinformation, they also acknowledge its benefits for individuals with speech impairments.

Nussbaum's initiative highlights the potential of AI to support individuals with disabilities in the broadcasting field, showcasing how technology can empower rather than hinder.

He emphasizes the positive potential of AI to assist those with speech impairments, citing examples of other individuals who have benefited from similar technologies.

Channel 12 recently showcased a preview of Nussbaum speaking with the AI, illustrating the stark difference between his natural speech and the AI-generated voice that resembles his former self.

Nussbaum expressed excitement about the technology's potential, while also raising concerns about its misuse for spreading misinformation.
