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.
