Voice tech: The past, present, and future

Executives from NVIDIA, Deepgram, and Sharpen gathered via Zoom on Wednesday to discuss the current state of the voice tech industry, as well as where it's going. Growth in artificial intelligence (AI) technology and machine learning have had a huge hand in lifting the market, but it's only the beginning. Voice tech has seen rapid growth in recent years and isn't predicted to stop: The market is estimated to be worth nearly $32 billion by 2025, a Grand View Research report found. With smart speakers and home assistants like Amazon Alexa, Apple's Siri, and Google Assistant making voice tech mainstream, most consumers are familiar with the concept. However, the technology is more complex than people may think and it has come a long way.
