Researchers at the University of Washington have just unveiled a prototype that might finally fix one of the most annoying parts of being in a crowd: actually hearing the person standing next to you. The team built AI-powered headphones that can automatically isolate the voice of the person you’re talking to, even in a chaotic, noisy room. The best part?
