AI Gives Musician Voice, Gen Z Finds Its Own

A musician with ALS regained his voice through artificial intelligence, while a U.S. figure skating favorite faltered at the Olympics, and the FBI released details in a missing persons case, according to reports released on February 13, 2026. These events, alongside the ongoing impact of AI and shifting societal trends, dominated headlines.

Patrick Darling, a 32-year-old musician diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at 29, performed on stage with his bandmates for the first time in two years, thanks to AI. According to MIT Technology Review, the performance was deeply emotional, as ALS had robbed Darling of his ability to sing. The technology allowed him to share his music again, including a heartfelt song written for his great-grandfather.

Meanwhile, in the world of sports, U.S. figure skater Ilia Malinin, heavily favored for Olympic gold, finished in 8th place at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. NPR News reported that the 21-year-old experienced a series of stumbles and falls during his free skate, shocking many.

In other news, the FBI released a detailed description of a suspect in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. The FBI described the man as being between 5-foot-9-inches and 5-foot-10-inches tall, of average build, and carrying a black, 25-liter Ozark Trail backpack, according to NPR News. The FBI hopes the updated description will help concentrate public tips.

The news landscape also reflected broader trends. Vox reported on Wikipedia's "renaissance in the age of AI," noting both its increased appreciation and the risks associated with AI bots training on its content. According to a multi-source report from Hacker News, the news also covered consumer trends like Valentine's Day and Presidents Day sales, while also addressing societal issues such as digital detoxing, workplace etiquette, and global water crises. The report also highlighted AI advancements in language models and music, exemplified by Darling's performance.
