AI to Diagnose Diseases Just From Hearing Your Voice — Dagmar Schuller, CEO of audEERING

Today we cover a very futuristic, sci-fi-sounding application of AI!  Imagine if, just from hearing your voice, an AI application could diagnose many diseases and accurately understand your emotional states.  

Sounds fancy, and I was as skeptical as you are, but turns out it's possible. Our voice packs a surprising number of biomarkers, which can be tracked to detect issues that are difficult or impossible with other diagnostic methods!
