Aflorithmic is on a mission to help you create high quality audio at a fraction of the time and cost. One of the most intense parts about creating audio for video, radio, smart speakers or, indeed, voice assistants and voice user interfaces, is that you need to learn what you’re doing. You need to learn your way around a DAW, understand compression, EQ, reverb, ducking and a whole load of other audio engineering practices. All of this makes high quality audio difficult to produce and reserved for those skilled enough.Aflorithmic is on a mission to change that. And to share how audio production can be made more streamlined, and how that can fit into a designer’s workflow, we’re joined by Aflorithmic CEO, Timo Kunz.**Presented by Deepgram**Deepgram is a Speech Company whose goal is to have every voice heard and understood.

Then, Ilan shares the Voice AI Connect product and how you can use it to integrate any voice assistant, from any technology framework, into any call centre. You can watch the whole thing here: https://bit.ly/3wN0Wgu See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

One thing is for sure; conversational AI systems are a challenge to test and maintain. Yet, without robust testing, there's no way of guaranteeing quality. And high quality interactions are all that matter. Without assuring the quality of your assistant, it won't achieve the results you hope it will, rendering your whole strategy pointless.To share the importance of quality assurance, and to walk you through the core steps and activities in your QA pipeline, we're joined by Christoph Börner, CEO, Botium.**Presented by Deepgram**Deepgram is a Speech Company whose goal is to have every voice heard and understood.

Just how much of your data is being processed by AI systems? And to what end? Most of us don't have a clue what's happening to the data we share with businesses on a day to day basis. We don't even know what data is being captured in the first place. Throw AI assistants into the mix and we're even more lost than we were. With algorithms making decisions and AI assistants mediating our interactions, understanding what data is being captured, how it's stored and used is crucial if we're ever going to fully trust AI services and the companies that run them. Yet most companies are way behind here. Most have big blind spots. Joining us to shed light on this and reveal these blind spots is Patricia Thaine, CEO, Private AI.**Presented by Deepgram**Deepgram is a Speech Company whose goal is to have every voice heard and understood.
