In this episode you’ll go on a mission alongside Craig to find Yorick, his robot hand co-host, a voice. He’ll talk to experts at the NVidia GTC conference in San Jose, people on the street, and then travel to meet up with Thor (@thorwebdev) of @Elevenlabs in London.
You’ll learn how speech synthesis got its start and where it’s headed. You’ll hear about the challenges of making voices seem real, understand privacy concerns, and see the power voice gives us by augmenting our abilities.
You’ll learn about clever use cases and get the opportunity to explore the actual AI applications seen on the show, and even have the opportunity to build and deploy your own Conversational AI Agent.
