Sarah Ezekiel
Sarah Ezekiel is a Londoner who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) at the age of 34, leading to the loss of her voice and mobility. After decades of communicating through a robotic voice, she regained her original voice through artificial intelligence, created from just eight seconds of audio from a family VHS tape. This technological breakthrough has allowed her to reconnect with her children, Aviva and Eric, and express her emotions more authentically.
