Episode notes

Respeacher collaborates with brands and intellectual property owners to create applications beyond entertainment, helping individuals with medical challenges such as speech disorders. By using real human voice-over artists in their technology, Respeacher ensures a more authentic and emotional sound compared to voice morphers. The company's focus on ethics and refusal to work on political ads demonstrate a commitment to responsible usage of their technology.

Masters of Scale goes under the hood of powerful AI in audio, unveiling a full vocal clone for founding host Reid Hoffman. Our CEO Jeff Berman, the Masters of Scale staff, and Reid himself tell the story of creating a synthetic voice we call “Reid-ish.” The company Respeecher is behind the technology, and its CEO Alex Serdiuk walks us through the speech replication process. Through “Reid-ish” we grapple with authenticity, disclosure, labor, and evolving norms around AI in media. Reid ponders what’s possible for greater sharing and learning through this audio technology, as well as what listeners should know about its use.
