- School-Cotton 1y agoYes, but there’s no fundamental reason why there couldn’t be one. It’s not a good reason to accept all the downsides of AI.
- vunderba 1y agoAI is irrelevant to the reason why there isn't a written version of every single national dialect of sign language. The reason it doesn't exist is because it would serve no purpose (source: many deaf friends). Deaf communities learn the country's writing system just like everyone else. The closest thing out there is SignWriting [1] which has about as much traction in the real world as esperanto. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SignWriting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SignWriting
- giancarlostoro 1y agoASL would be the target, but also the hand motions might not be universal to convey.
