However, AI technology is allowing him to be a commentator, enabling a significant comeback and inspiring the disabled community.

This week, a groundbreaking announcement shook the Israeli media sphere as Channel 12 revealed Moshe Nussbaum's planned return to the screen, assisted by artificial intelligence.
