Brett Brooks

This week, Nick returns to The Artificial Podcast with Brett Brooks to chat about synthetic voices, voice cloning, and how it truly is possible to make your voice live forever. Nick and Brett dive into the “what” of synthetic voice and talk about how anyone can create a custom clone of their voice using some simple tools in Microsoft Azure. Nick also shares why he thinks using pre-recorded voices for voice applications and voice assistants is outdated, and why the industry should be focusing on custom and high-quality synthetic voices. Nick and Brett also talk about their genius idea of developing a marketplace for custom synthetic voices of prominent celebrities, political figures, musicians, etc. 🔽 🔽 🔽 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL TO SEE WHAT WE LOOK LIKE 🔽 🔽 🔽 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb8lXEgrCR9TxbhSNPqvD8Q Listen to past episodes / Join our Discord community: https://theartificialpodcast.com Support us on Patreon and follow us on social media: https://linktr.ee/theartificialp Connect with Nick on social media: https://linktr.ee/therednickm Have an episode idea or interested in being a guest on the show?

Nick and Brett dive into the many trials and tribulations that they faced building their own digital assistant, and Nick shares the powerful story behind why they chose to build a digital assistant specifically for at-home diagnostic testing and home healthcare.

87: We built our own voice assistant…the many trials and tribulations feat. Brett Brooks

Does it seem like Hollywood, film, and television always seem to have a knack for predicting the future? In fact, quite a few pieces of technology that we use in our daily lives originated in Hollywood-produced films. This week, Nick is once again joined by his trusty producer and best friend, Brett Brooks, to chat about Hollywood’s tech predictions and what they got right…and wrong. Nick and Brett dive into some of the most well-known Sci-Fi films and television shows including Back To The Future II, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek, The Terminator, and Minority Report. They even talk about how The Cable Guy and Jim Carrey accurately predicted life in 2021, and how Enemy of The State confirmed everything we already suspected about government surveillance tech. 🔽 🔽 🔽 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL TO SEE WHAT WE LOOK LIKE 🔽 🔽 🔽 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb8lXEgrCR9TxbhSNPqvD8Q Listen to past episodes / Join our Discord community: https://theartificialpodcast.com Support us on Patreon and follow us on social media: https://linktr.ee/theartificialp Connect with Nick on social media: https://linktr.ee/therednickm Have an episode idea or interested in being a guest on the show?

Nick's Favorite Episodes - #2

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, oh my! That’s right. This week, Nick and Brett dive into cryptocurrency and try and figure out what the heck is going on and why crypto hype seems to be taking the world by storm. Nick explains how Blockchain (the technology behind Bitcoin) works and why it is one of the most important pieces of emerging technology in the 21st century. Nick and Brett also chat about Bitcoin and look at some of the most popular Altcoins available today. Nick and Brett also go on a lengthy tangent about fiat currency, supply and demand, and why ultimately land will forever be the most valuable asset (hint: YOU CAN’T MAKE ANYMORE OF IT). Unfortunately, Nick and Brett were not able to cover NFTs in this episode. However, we will be dedicating an episode just to NFTs in the near future (there is a lot to unpack here, and we want to make sure we do it justice). 🔽 🔽 🔽 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL TO SEE WHAT WE LOOK LIKE 🔽 🔽 🔽 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb8lXEgrCR9TxbhSNPqvD8Q Listen to past episodes / Join our Discord community: https://theartificialpodcast.com Support us on Patreon and follow us on social media: https://linktr.ee/theartificialp Connect with Nick on social media: https://linktr.ee/therednickm Have an episode idea or interested in being a guest on the show?

85: TO THE MOON – Cryptocurrency, NFTs, and what the heck is going on feat. Brett Brooks

This week, Brett returns to The Artificial Podcast to chat with Nick about Electric Vehicles (EVs) and what all the recent hype is about. Nick and Brett talk about the history of EVs and how the first EV was created more than 100 years ago. Nick also dives into how EVs work and how some EVs can go from 0-60 mph in less than two seconds. To close the show, Nick and Brett look at some of the coolest EVs available on the market today and why the Tesla Model S is clearly the coolest of them all (and why it is Nick’s new dream car). 🔽 🔽 🔽 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL TO SEE WHAT WE LOOK LIKE 🔽 🔽 🔽 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb8lXEgrCR9TxbhSNPqvD8Q Listen to past episodes / Join our Discord community: https://theartificialpodcast.com Support us on Patreon and follow us on social media: https://linktr.ee/theartificialp Connect with Nick on social media: https://linktr.ee/therednickm Have an episode idea or interested in being a guest on the show?

Nick and Ming chat about how we are biologically hard-wired to immediately respond to fear, and how social media technology has played a role in putting our Amygdala’s into constant overdrive. Nick and Ming also chat about the incredible opportunities that technology has given humanity and, how having a scarcity mindset has led to the increase in anger online and “outrage porn”. Ming also talks about gratitude and looking at the world with an abundance mindset, and how these are the two most important things to help fight our addiction to outrage (and also get us to Mars).

22: The Top Myths of AI and Why You Have No Reason to Be Afraid

In this week’s episode of The Artificial Podcast Nick is once again joined by The Artificial Podcast’s editor/producer Brett Brooks for the last episode of 2019. This week Nick takes a deep dive into the growing concerns that everyone seems to have about data privacy. Nick explains what data privacy is and how it differs from data security. Nick shares why data privacy is important in our ever-expanding world of technology and why both data privacy and data security need to co-exist in order to ensure that all of the data being collected by companies like Google, Amazon, and Facebook is being treated appropriately. Nick talks about some of the most important data privacy and security laws that have been implemented over the past 20 years like the EU’s GDPR, HIPPA, and upcoming CCPA regulations in California. To end this week’s show Nick and Brett revisit some of this decades’ most notable data privacy and security breaches/scandals like Cambridge Analytica, Target, and Equifax to name a few. Nick and Brett also share their personal viewpoints on data privacy and why it may or may not continue to populate the news headlines heading into the 2020s. Since this is our last show of 2019, we would like to extend a HUGE thank you to all our incredible listeners and guests. 2019 has been an incredible year for both The Artificial Podcast and for RedFox AI as we continue on our mission of helping brands leverage the power of Alexa and Google Assistant, along with helping educate everyone on how AI and Voice-First are impacting all of our lives both personally and within organizations.
