The Gradient podcast interviews investigative journalist Evan Ratliff about Shell Game, a project in which he creates an AI voice clone of himself and deploys it in real interactions. The conversation covers ethical boundaries of voice agents, societal impacts on younger generations, techno-solutionism, and the broader state of longform journalism. While voice agent governance is a real emerging issue, this item is a media personality interview rather than policy, research, or guidance relevant to APS AI practitioners.
