Google Pixel Buds Tap AI To Alert Users To Sirens, Crying Babies, and Barking Dogs

Google Pixel Buds can now alert you to the sounds of a crying baby, barking dog, or the siren of an emergency vehicle when you're listening to something and may not otherwise hear the sound. From a report: The feature reduces the volume of whatever music or podcast you're listening to and plays a chime sound to signal an alert. Attention Alerts is part of an AI-powered experimental feature being added to Google's flagship earbuds today in a larger firmware update. Google trained AI systems to recognize the trio of sounds by scraping audio from publicly available videos, a company spokesperson told VentureBeat. Amazon's Echo speakers have the ability to detect sounds that may be important in a home setting, like alarms, breaking glass, or sounds indicating someone is in your home when you're away.
