Researchers at Hong Kong Metropolitan University are developing an AI application designed to detect drunk driving by analyzing Cantonese speech patterns. The app will use a multimodal AI model trained on speech samples to identify changes in rate, intonation, and grammar caused by alcohol consumption.
