For all the hype over generative artificial intelligence, how far has AI really advanced? Where is the new line between humanity and technology, and what will it mean for how we live and work?
GeekWire is addressing these questions in our Bot or Not series, and this week on the GeekWire Podcast, we share the preliminary results of an experiment that we’ve been conducting. We created AI voice clones for my colleague John Cook and me, and had those clones read a short, AI-generated podcast script.
You can hear a short clip in the first segment of this week’s episode, followed by reactions from our colleague Kurt Schlosser, and from John, who was hearing his own voice clone for the first time. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for a more in-depth look at this process and the larger issues raised by AI voice cloning.
- In the second segment, we get Kurt’s first-hand report from Amazon headquarters as the tech giant’s employees return to the office en masse for the first time in more than three years.
- In the final segment, listen for a preview of the GeekWire Awards, coming up May 18 in Seattle. Check out all of our GeekWire Awards coverage here, and learn more on the GeekWire Awards event site.
