Where artificial intelligence surpasses human beings

The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed an AI that can convert spoken words into speech in a very short time. This puts it far ahead of humans in speech recognition.

The AI was developed by researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Measurements have shown that within 1.75 seconds English words are converted with an error rate of 5 percent. For comparison: humans have a 5.5 percent error rate for such measurements. This means that the technology works better in this respect than a human being.

Basically, the standard test “Switchboard conversational corpus” has been applied. It contains about 2500 conversations with about 500 speakers.
