AI has recently voiced two iconic characters in Star Wars spin-offs. In this episode of In Machines We Trust, we meet Alex Serdiuk, the founder and CEO of the company responsible for those voices. 

I Was There When is an oral history project that’s part of the In Machines We Trust podcast. It features stories of how breakthroughs and watershed moments in artificial intelligence and computing happened, as told by the people who witnessed them.

In Machines We Trust is a podcast about the automation of everything. Host Jennifer Strong and the team at MIT Technology Review look at what it means to entrust artificial intelligence with our most sensitive decisions.
