Speech and language impairments, though often used interchangeably, are two very distinct types of challenges. A speech impairment may lead to impaired ability to produce speech sounds whilst communication may be affected due to lack of fluency or articulation of words. Consequently this may affect a person's ability to articulate may affect academic achievement, social development and progress in life. ChatGPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer) is an open access AI (Artificial Intelligence) tool developed by Open AI® based on Large language models (LLMs) with the ability to respond to human prompts to generate texts using Supervised and Unsupervised Machine Learning (ML) Algorithms. This article explores the current role and future perspectives of ChatGPT AI Tool for Speech-Impaired Assistance.
A cumulative search strategy using databases of PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus and grey literature was conducted to generate this narrative review.
A spectrum of Enabling Technologies for Speech & Language Impairment have been explored. Augmentative and Alternative Communication technology (AAC), Integration with Neuroprosthesis technology and Speech therapy applications offer considerable potential to aid speech and language impaired individuals.
Current applications of AI, ChatGPT and other LLM's offer promising solutions in enhancing communication in people affected by Speech and Language impairment. However, further research and development is required to ensure affordability, accessibility and authenticity of these AI Tools in clinical Practice.
言语和语言障碍虽然经常互换使用，但却是两种截然不同的挑战类型。言语障碍可能导致发出语音的能力受损，而沟通可能会因缺乏流畅性或言语清晰度而受到影响。因此，这可能会影响一个人的言语表达能力，进而可能影响学业成绩、社交发展和生活进步。ChatGPT（生成式预训练变换器）是OpenAI®基于大语言模型（LLMs）开发的一种开放获取人工智能工具，能够使用监督式和无监督式机器学习（ML）算法响应人类提示来生成文本。本文探讨了ChatGPT人工智能工具在言语障碍辅助方面的当前作用和未来前景。
采用累积搜索策略，利用PubMed、谷歌学术、Scopus数据库和灰色文献进行本次叙述性综述。
已探索了一系列用于言语和语言障碍的赋能技术。辅助和替代沟通技术（AAC）、与神经假体技术的整合以及言语治疗应用为帮助言语和语言障碍个体提供了巨大潜力。
人工智能、ChatGPT和其他大语言模型的当前应用在增强受言语和语言障碍影响者的沟通方面提供了有前景的解决方案。然而，需要进一步的研究和开发，以确保这些人工智能工具在临床实践中的可承受性、可及性和真实性。
