Listener Po Chin from Taiwan hopes that Crowdscience will remain created by humans. But wonders: could it ever be hosted by Artifical Intelligence?
Don’t worry – there are no plans to replace the team with machines. But to better understand this technology, presenter Caroline Steel investigates how good an AI version of herself would really be. Could it have a conversation, show curiosity, or display empathy?
She explores how generative AI models work under the hood to create such impressive text – and speech. She learns about the features of the human voice that make it sound “natural”, and whether a synthetic clone of her own voice could replicate the real thing.
She asks how much of an impact AI could have on job markets around the world, and speaks to a voice actor whose industry is already being disrupted by it. And she tries to tackle the big question: even if AI could present Crowdscience – does that mean it should?
