   British researchers have trained an artificial intelligence to recognize keystrokes by sound. A smartphone placed near a laptop served as the microphone. How about copy & paste password using a password manager and protecting account with 2FA hardware keys? That would prevent the AI or not ?

     @nixCraft Still you need to know the password to the password manager and type it to unlock that keychain on your computer.

     @nixCraft I have conjectured this would be possible. But is it able to do this for anyone on any keyboard, is it tuned to a particular keyboard, or is it trained on a particular person?

     @nixCraft To some extent security keys mitigate this, however most still require a PIN to be entered at some point, which will have the same problem.
