SudhaLive as AISudha

Sudha Jamthe, host of #SudhaLive

Welcome. Welcome to SudhaLive. I am going to speak with you using an AI voice because I have a sore throat. I had built a text to speech voice synthesizer as my college project in my Computer Science Engineering undergrads decades back. Now its doable with a pre-trained AI software model. I am using Google WaveNet for text to speech.

This is #SudhaLive my weekly livestream where I share opportunities in AI space — jobs, fellowship, courses and my analysis of one topic from the AI world.

Let’s hear a female voice from India now.

I am Sudha Jamthe, a technology futurist from Silicon Valley, I teach AI and AI Ethics at Stanford Continuing Studies, focus on independent research on Inclusive AI in autonomous vehicles, AI X design and Language AI.

Now an American Woman voice. Tell me which voice you like.
