Outline:

Here’s the timestamps for the episode:

(00:00) – Introduction

(02:34) – Microsoft has developed a core bot, called Service Bot Framework, a single bot allowing to write once and then have it deployed on Alexa, Cortana and Google within just a few minutes

(04:14) – The quick switch from text to voice. Text is a bit more mature from a natural language perspective

(07:57) – Humans only need to look at the output of a model and make small verifications regarding meaning and intentions, which used to take a very long time for a human to actually manually translate, and now they're just reviewing, editing, iterating on, as opposed to building that translation from scratch

(07:43) – There's a totally different kind of human benefit to language learning than just that transactional thing that AI can assist with today

(11:40) – Making voice integration ubiquitous

(24:00) – Microsoft's Conversation Learner, cognitive services and applied AI to identify what that speaker is saying and attribute it like in a transcript, in real time

(18:38) – This is not a new technology, but the fact that there have been efforts to democratize it and make it accessible as a web service is quite new

(19:59) – AI is increasing the velocity of our technology and what we're able to do with it. We do have to be careful, but it's great

(21:21) – The space of AI and networking opportunities: Voice Of The Car Summit, Voice Of Hospitality, Voice Of Banking Summit

(26:36) – Participatory AI: AI Business School and AI school

(31:19) – Democratizing things that used to be reserved for 1% of the 1% tech companies or Silicon Valley, or those very large companies in the Fortune 500

(32:04) –AI not only solves business problems or tech problems, but now AI can help everyday problems. AI can help music, art, fashion. Collaboration between MIT and Met with AI

(36:30) –Giving back to the community: Lady Coders and Woman in Tech initiatives
