AI sign language system is launched by NYU Abu Dhabi. The AI sign language system called ChatSign gives real-time translation of spoken Arabic and English into sign language. It supports American Sign Language and Emirati Sign Language. The AI sign language system improves accessibility for deaf users in daily services.
ChatSign is developed by NYU Abu Dhabi researchers. It converts speech to sign in real time. It works in government offices, hospitals, education and transport. The system reduces need for human interpreters. It uses advanced AI models and supports Arabic and English communication.
ChatSign has been shown at major events like Dubai AI Week and GITEX Expand North Star. It is a step forward in inclusive technology. The system also plans sign-to-speech and text-to-sign features. It helps tourism, healthcare and public services improve access for all users.
Officials said ChatSign is a commercial AI spin-out that reflects NYU Abu Dhabi mission to connect research with real world needs. It aims to make communication easier for deaf people across many sectors. The project shows how AI can improve accessibility and inclusion in society in a practical way. ChatSign may expand further across region in coming years and more languages. It supports future digital inclusion goals.
