Janice shares her journey over the years as a journalist covering emerging technologies and her perspective as part of the Ethical Use Task Force community of the Open Voice Network.  We discuss some of the issues that can arise through the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence, which drives voice assistants.  She dives into some amazing possibilities of the value of voice, with a particular focus on how this can be a benefit for the blind and visually impaired.  This is part of the Open Voice Network series of conversations.
