AI: Something to Fear, or Embrace: A Question for Voice Actors and Other Creatives

AI Voices. We hear about them every day. And we hear them every day. At the airport. Waiting for a bus or train. On that small console on our kitchen counter or, God forbid, bedside table.

Smart assistants make our lives easier: Ask them anything. But the technology also hears a lot. Perhaps a lot that we’d rather keep to ourselves.

In this episode, I talk about my own ambivalence about the quickly evolving development of and our growing comfort with AI.  For many of us in the voice over industry, as well as other creative pursuits like graphic design, animation, writing, and professions like law, there's a certain uneasiness with the technology as well.

 AI: Something to fear or embrace? The technology is here to stay, so it’s best to understand it and use it to our best advantage. Professionally speaking, it’s a great tool, but I’m going to double down on being human.

 A few weeks ago, voice actor Ann Lucente and I moderated a panel discussion on AI in Clubhouse.  Listen to the replay here. 

 Recent Embark guest Kirsten Rourke weighed in on AI, among other things.

 As always, let's keep it human. And thanks for listening.
