Broadcom and CAMB.AI develop chip to translate audio on-device

A new partnership between technology firm Broadcom and an AI specialist CAMB.AI aims to build translation capabilities directly into the hardware of your devices. This on-device approach means tasks like converting speech to another language, live dubbing, and generating audio descriptions for the visually impaired would all happen on your phone, television, or other gadget. The companies state this method offers significant benefits over cloud-based systems. Because the data does not need to travel to a remote server, the companies promise near-instant results with minimal lag. They also highlight major privacy and security improvements, as personal audio never leaves the user’s possession. Additionally, the technology would consume much less internet bandwidth.
