Artificial Intelligence (AI) in its many forms has been a topic of fascination and concern since at least 1951, when a computer first “learned” to play chess. In the years since, AI has grown in sophistication and power at a rapid pace, leading to innumerable technological and scientific breakthroughs that have radically changed how we live our lives.
Recently, the hottest areas of advancement in Artificial Intelligence have come from the subfield known as generative AI, which the tech industry invested over $2 billion in last year. While most AI research broadly involves making systems better at recognizing or classifying pre-existing data (think: programs trained to correctly identify images of a human face), generative AI distinguishes itself by focusing on systems that are capable of creating new and novel data (think: programs that can generate entirely unique images of human faces that have never existed before).
As a result, we find ourselves in the middle of an explosion of fascinating consumer-level generative AI tools that can do anything from write and illustrate an original children’s book to compose an entire song, all with minimal human guidance. And it’s not just prospective writers, artists, or musicians who are benefiting from these turbocharged productivity tools. Podcastle users have generative AI to thank for Revoice, the podcasting platform’s most advanced and exciting feature.
