The age of AI: supercharging Europe's tech transformation

Irish company SoapBox Labs says it has developed the world's most accurate and safe voice recognition technology for children. Founded in 2013, the company uses artificial intelligence tailored to help kids play and learn more immersively using their own voices. "While people are probably familiar with speech recognition for adults, in voice assistance or in smart speakers, our technology has been built specifically for children, and that's modelling their voices and speech behaviours using state of the art AI technology,"explains SoapBox Labs CEO, Patricia Scanlon. The company's technology has attracted the tech giants. The firm is already working with Microsoft to boost child literacy and tackle problems surrounding child data privacy.
