From HAL in "2001: A Space Odyssey" to today's Siri and Alexa, the dream of talking to computers has long captivated us. In this episode, we speak with Dr. William Meisel, author of "The Lost History of 'Talking to Computers'," about the decades-long quest to make science fiction a reality.
Dr. Meisel, who founded a speech recognition company in the 1980s, shares fascinating insights into the early pioneers of AI and what we can learn from their journey. This conversation is a must for anyone curious about how we got here and where the current AI exuberance might take us. Tune in now to learn from an expert who lived this history.
