What if audio was your only signal of trust in a digital world saturated with AI? In this compelling episode of The ADNA Presents, I spoke with Dr. Tanusree Sharma-assistant professor at Penn State and researcher at the intersection of AI, security, and digital authenticity. We explored how audio description (AD)-originally designed to make media accessible to blind and low vision audiences-is evolving into a critical signal of trust for everyone. From anime to e-learning, from synthetic voice to stolen identity, this conversation dives deep into what it means to create ethical, empathetic, and secure systems in an AI-saturated ecosystem. Dr. Sharma's insights for AI leaders are clear: - How to treat audio when developing AI - What AI system designs should include - Who to recognize as pioneers in media literacy If you work in voice tech, AI policy, or digital storytelling, this episode is a must.
