Artificial Intelligence now permeates our daily lives. What conversations are we not having about AI? And how can creative projects help open these discussions about what is really at stake? In this episode of Emerging Form, journalist Evan Ratliff shares with us how he cloned his voice, connected it to a chat bot, and created a voice agent that took calls and made calls–both to strangers and friends–all in a voice that sounded as if it were him. He shares the project, his questions, his concerns, his discoveries on a new podcast, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.shellgame.co/podcast">Shell Game</a>. We speak with him about the genesis of the show, how having no prescriptive ideas on the outset can benefit creative practice, how financing your own creative project offers more creative freedom, and why it was so important in a program about AI to have all the content created by humans<a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/redirect/b641806a-2d70-4025-8a4a-3c9a02444aa1?j=eyJ1IjoiYWFzZyJ9.x82TuIuu99DXidxti4iy0cpbifcwvcp8tx9XCSKh7Eo">Evan Ratliff</a> is an award-winning investigative journalist, bestselling author, podcast host, and entrepreneur.
