Anyone that follows me on social media will know that I am not the biggest fan of AI and in particular Generative AI.

So when I ended up sitting next to the founder of The Institute of Applied AI, Siobhan O'Leary at a Chamber breakfast, I couldn't resist inviting her to come on the Win Happy podcast !

We had a really fascinating chat about the family jewellery business, her career as an engineer, the challenge of juggling work and family, and then a huge pivot to self employment and the world of applying AI to business.

When I was editing the podcast, after about 25 minutes of perfect audio for some reason the sound collapsed on Siobhan's microphone and I was struggling badly to recover the audio quality. After lots of repair work by me using the software that I normally use, I had an ok recording but it wasn't at all good enough to publish.

Instead of abandoning what I had, I ironically turned to an AI repair tool that I had never used before to see if it could rescue the recording At times it changed Siobhan's voice and at times it managed to mispronounce some words - it still needed some intervention from me and a few parts I had to delete but all in all it did an ok job.

I'll let you listen and figure out where the AI took over and you might let me know if you think it did a good job or not!

Enjoy the show ...
