Are you ready to choose your company over your ego?

In his resignation letter, Jack Dorsey — ex-CEO of Twitter — has raised the issue of whether it is important for a company to be founder-led or not. In his opinion, it is limiting and is a single point of failure

Founders resign for various reasons. Some simply lose interest and switch their focus to new projects, others stand down in favor of more experienced managers. But replacing a founder comes with both advantages and disadvantages

How is this possible? Through deep learning. The system is fed with data — the recorded speech — and then, trained to read text in the target voice. To produce accurate replications, it performs a deep analysis and extraction of the voice’s characteristics. For a quality simulation, the software needs at least a 10-minute sample of the recorded voice

Why good? It can be used in the movie-making industry to do voiceovers or translate actors’ words into different languages. Also, it is of help in healthcare. It can assist patients who are unable to talk

Why bad? It is of increasing interest to cybercriminals. Recently, a huge heist has taken place. Criminals faked the voice of an executive of a large company and robbed a bank of $35M
