In this episode, hosts Charlie Fink, Rony Abovitz, and Ted Schilowitz discuss viral AI-generated media and concerns over synthetic content verification. They touch on identity theft issues arising from unauthorized use of voices in AI avatars. The conversation shifts to Infinite Reality’s controversial $3 billion funding claim, which Forbes investigated but found inconclusive. They introduce guest Sam Liang, CEO of Otter.ai, who recounts founding Otter to capture and make human voice data searchable. Liang describes Otter’s early partnership with Zoom, the company’s evolution into a major AI transcription platform, and its competitive advantages in voice data. He highlights Otter’s new AI meeting assistant capable of proactive participation and outlines future plans for multilingual support and independent voice agents.
