Israeli TV journalist Moshe Nussbaum, diagnosed with ALS, lost his ability to speak clearly, threatening his career. However, AI software is now recreating his distinct voice, enabling his return as a commentator. The AI, trained on his extensive recordings, will allow him to report stories, with his lip movements adjusted to match the AI-generated speech.

Nussbaum views this as a "magic trick" that not only allows his comeback but also highlights the potential for people with disabilities to continue working.
