AI Voice Synthesis with Zach Johnson | LMNT | Generative AI Games

Voice Synthesis is about to transform game development, virtual worlds and simulations of all kinds. I spoke with Zach Johnson, cofounder of LMNT, an AI voice synthesis company that uses the magic of prosody imitation to make voices that sound strikingly like the original speaker.

We covered how these technologies work; demonstrated cases with David Attenborough and a flight simulator; discussed the new type of creator economy this will form; technologies to enable scalability and reliability (such as memory safe languages, e.g., Rust) as well as other things Zach learned from his time working on Google Glass.
