Listen Later

Guest: Brad Diskin, CEO of SGI

AI can see. But can it hear?


Meet Brad Diskin, CEO of Sound Genetics Inc. (SGI), the company teaching machines to listen. In this interview with host Maureen Metcalf, you’ll explore how acoustic intelligence is transforming security, leadership, and innovation across industries.

 

From detecting deepfakes and authenticating human voices to predicting infrastructure failures and even diagnosing disease through audio patterns, SGI’s technology is expanding how leaders think about AI, risk, and trust.

Here's what Brad and Maureen cover:

  • How “sound DNA” is transforming authentication, fraud prevention, and cybersecurity
  • Why AI’s next frontier isn’t vision; it’s hearing
  • What “digital audio imaging” means for infrastructure, health, and smart cities
  • The leadership mindset required to responsibly integrate next-generation AI.
