Available in Any Language: How Voice Technology is Changing the Future of Media -- Jesse Shemen (Co-Founder & CEO, Papercup)

Jesse Shemen is the Co-Founder & CEO of Papercup, an AI platform that automatically translates video content using synthetic voice technology. Jesse started his career in consulting at Deloitte but quickly sought a more entrepreneurial path. He co-founded both the Deloitte Incubator and Deloitte Ventures to lead equity investments and partnerships with early stage companies before leaving the consulting world to join Octopus Labs as a Venture Builder. In this episode, Jesse and I discuss how innovations in voice technology are making it easier to share content and communicate, even when two people don’t speak the same language. We consider the current audio renaissance and examine how smart speakers and voice assistants are changing the way we interact with our devices. But we also explore the potential dark sides of these new technologies, from deep fakes to Internet scams, and what safeguards can be put in place to keep us safe. Finally, Jesse shares his excitement for the many applications of voice technology, such as education, humanitarian aid, and preserving world languages as a hallmark of culture.
