”Has the AI Audio revolution begun?” with Liam Thompson of The Smart 7

The Smart 7 is a daily news podcast that brings its audience the big seven news stories of the day, seven days a week in around seven minutes. This month they launched a live experiment, replacing regular host (and co-founder) Jamie East with "Robot Jamie" a synthesised AI-generated version to deliver the daily shows.

On this episode of Voiceworks: Sound Business, Jim Salveson is joined by Smart 7 creator Liam Thompson (Virgin Radio, Classic Hits, Talk Sport) about why they took the decision to turn to AI, the benefits, the pitfalls and what role Artificial Intelligence could play in the future of audio, podcasting and radio.
