How big should voice be? How big can voice become? For some, conversational AI is a toy-like technology of convenience – an alarm, a music player, a teller of tales and news headlines. For businesses, conversational AI is most often a technology of automation and efficiency – one that alleviates call center burdens. But let’s pause and consider, for a moment, the possibilities. Here is an inclusive interface that will soon be resident on every digital device – in a world where every device is digital. Here’s a capability that will exist within every website, every smart system, every AI. We’re at the edge – and let’s dare to say it – of a worldwide voice web. Join Jon Stine, Executive Director of the Open Voice Network, a community of the Linux Foundation, for an exploration of where voice is, where it can go (for optimal societal and economic benefit), and what stands in its way. (Spoiler alert: he’s going to talk about interoperability and data ownership.)
