Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the field of sign recognition,
enabling machines to accurately interpret and respond to signs, symbols, and gestures.
This chapter explores the dynamic landscape of AI-based sign recognition systems,
unveiling their components, functionalities, applications, and advantages over
traditional methods. By leveraging machine learning and computer vision, these
systems offer remarkable accuracy, adaptability, and real-time responsiveness. Their
impact extends across social and business domains, enhancing inclusivity for the
hearing impaired, enabling cross-cultural communication, and transforming industries
such as transportation and healthcare. Challenges and ethical considerations are also
addressed. The future trajectory of AI-based sign recognition promises a world where
machines seamlessly bridge the gap between human communication and technological
innovation.
