A.I. Isn’t Coming for Moe the Bartender. Not Yet, Anyway.

Listen Later

In this episode, the actor Hank Azaria, known in part for his numerous roles on “The Simpsons,” confronts how A.I. is already shaking up the vocal acting world. As he explains the human touches that shape his characters, he also offers hope for a future in which there is still a need for performers like himself. Is it inevitable that artificial intelligence will soon put him and his fellow creatives out of a job?

Read Hank Azaria’s essay and watch him perform his most famous “Simpsons” characters at nytimes.com.
