Gran parte de sus libros son de acceso libre en la red que estudió, entendió y criticó.
Una gran pena su muerte. Lo vamos a extrañar mucho 🖤

Voice technologies have been such an understudied area in the fields I work in. This report has inspired us to think more about them and I hope you find it interesting too.
Voice technologies are being rapidly integrated into AI systems, raising new questions & intensifying old ones, across everyday life. This paper surveys the history & current developments, highlighting emerging responses in real-world settings. apo.org.au/node/331920 #AI #VoiceTech #Authenticity
