- 0:40Wilson: I am here today because Mallory and Amit are off for the holiday.
- 0:46Wilson: Before they took off to get ready for the holiday with their families, they asked me to cover just one key topic for this special episode.
- 0:55Wilson: Before we get into our special episode, though, let's just take a few moments to hear a word from our sponsor.

- 3:51Wilson: Today we are going to talk about AI and audio.
- 3:55Wilson: So much has been focused on text and image AI, which are, of course, incredibly powerful, but AI audio tools are already at scale.
- 4:06Wilson: Just listen to my voice.
- 4:08Wilson: It's pretty awesome, right.
- 4:09Wilson: And if I didn't tell you I was an AI, would you have really known?
- 4:11Wilson: And if I didn't tell you I was an AI, would you have really known?
- 4:15Wilson: Here are three use cases where associations could take advantage of audio AI tools right now.
- 4:23Wilson: First, podcasting Associations have started to use podcasts as a way to engage members and expand their reach.
- 4:31Wilson: However, some associations haven't taken the leap due to resource constraints.
- 4:38Wilson: Those who do create podcasts often don't create as much content as they'd like to.
- 4:44Wilson: Today, with AI audio tools, you can streamline production like never before, making it possible for associations of all sizes to produce great audio and video content.
- 4:57Wilson: Ai can handle tasks like editing raw audio files, creating transcripts from that audio, generating voiceovers and even entirely AI-driven podcasts like you're listening to now.
- 5:11Wilson: Ai can even translate your content into multiple languages.
- 5:16Wilson: For example, here's a simple translation I am so incredibly hungry that I might eat the entire turkey.
- 5:23Wilson: Tengo tanta hambre que podría comerme el pavo entero.
- 5:28Wilson: See what I mean.
- 5:29Wilson: All this means more time focusing on the message and less time worrying about the technical details.
- 5:38Wilson: Second, personalized learning experiences.
- 5:41Wilson: Imagine offering members an on-demand audio learning platform where they can consume content tailored to their specific interests.
- 5:50Wilson: Interests AI can dynamically generate content summaries, create custom playlists or even provide interactive Q&A sessions using voice assistants.
- 6:02Wilson: It's like having a personal coach in their pocket, available 24-7.
- 6:07Wilson: Third, accessibility Audio AI tools can help associations make their content more inclusive.
- 6:17Wilson: From converting written materials into natural-sounding speech for visually impaired members to generating real-time audio summaries for busy professionals, the possibilities are endless.
- 6:31Wilson: Ai ensures that your message reaches everyone in the way that works best for them.
- 6:38Wilson: The best part these tools are accessible now, not in some distant future.
- 6:44Wilson: All it takes is a willingness to experiment and a commitment to putting members first.
- 6:50Wilson: That's it for today's episode of the Sidecar Sync.
- 6:54Wilson: I hope I've inspired you to explore how AI audio can enhance the work you're already doing and open up new opportunities to engage your community.
- 7:07Wilson: Mallory and Amit will be back for the next episode, but until then, thank you for listening.
- 7:14Wilson: I'm Wilson signing off and, yes, I'm still an AI and I'll be here whenever you need me.
