Language impairment is often a sign of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease (AD). While early diagnosis is key to improving life quality for individuals with dementia, current methods are costly. Excitingly, a recent study reveals that artificial intelligence (AI), particularly natural language processing (NLP) using large language models like GPT-3, can predict dementia from spontaneous speech. This breakthrough suggests that AI could soon assist clinicians in early AD screening and diagnosis, leading to more accessible and accurate tools for early intervention.
