Microsoft has filed a patent for a system that alters live video in near real time: AI agents cut or replace individual words of a speaker, and the speaker's face and mouth movements are adjusted to the new text.
The changes follow preset parameters or the viewer's profile, and the video and audio before and after the changed word are edited for "smooth transitions".
The system can be applied to lectures, presentations, TV shows and sports broadcasts.

Microsoft wants to lay off 27% of employees as AI rolls out
Around 60,000 employees in the US, Canada, India and the UK have been offered buyouts with severance pay. Even vice presidents are among those affected by the cuts.
Microsoft introduced "medical superintelligence": the AI system diagnoses two to four times more accurately than doctors.
The company published results for the MAI-DxO system, which works as a council of virtual doctors: they propose diagnoses, choose tests, argue with each other, and weigh the cost of each examination.
Results:
• On complex cases from a journal, it reached 83% accuracy. Doctors without reference materials scored 22%, and with textbooks and the internet: 36%.
• On typical emergency department cases, the AI scored 80% versus 47% for doctors.
• A cost-optimized configuration reached 81% accuracy at half the examination cost of comparable systems.
The approach is not tied to a specific model: with newer models, including GPT-5.5, the results have only improved. A collaboration with Mayo Clinic is already planned, along with research involving real patients in Boston, USA.
